Canada back on the radar, as per the airport website. Now with long-haul tax in parity with short-haul, this may be more likely.
Airport works to restore direct Toronto link - Belfast International Airport
Belfast International Airport has said that Northern Ireland tourism is losing out because it no longer has direct air links with Canada.
BIA Business Development Director, Uel Hoey, told a major Ireland-Canada conference that when the Belfast-Toronto link was in operation, tens of thousands of Canadian tourists flooded into the Province.
Strong family and cultural links with Canada, and Ontario in particular, formed the bedrock of the service but the link has become dormant in the last two years with the demise of two airlines. Efforts continue to secure another carrier to take over the Belfast route.
