I see BBC has picked up a story about both BFS and BHD concering profits..

BBC News - Belfast airports' profits squeezed as competition increases

Profit figures at Belfast's two airports suggest increased competition is squeezing profits at both.


Belfast City Airport made a £15,000 pre-tax profit on a turnover of £17.1m in 2010, down from £433,000 in 2009.



Belfast International Airport saw its pre-tax profit drop 11% to £1.6m on a turnover of £30.6m in 2010.


Reduced profits could starve both airports of investment and raises questions about a small region having two airports in direct competition.
