Why not settle the argument by saying that Shannon is the 2nd busiest airport in the Republic of Ireland and that Belfast International is the busiest airport in Northern Ireland and the 2nd busiest on the Island of Ireland.

Belfast international is currently the 2nd busiest airport in Ireland but it's only a matter of time before it will be eclipsed by Cork with its growth rates over the last decade to be the nation's second busiest.
Belfast is in Northern Ireland, a small part of Ireland that currently is in the UK. It is not in Britain
Politically, the Belfast agreement enables the reunification of Ireland when a majority in BOTH parts of Ireland vote for it. For now, most people are content to have the British subsidize the poorest part of Ireland for another couple of decades.

Last flight, EI 383, now en route, ETA in SNN is 2120.
Certainly, a sad day for SNN, but not the end. It's good to see that there are fighting back and every success to them. And an annual pax handling figure north of 3m is hardly the sign of a declining airport. This will be a tough year, but SNN will survive.
How FF will fare in SNN next time out is really the big question; I personally hope they get rightly kicked. The govt's handling of this issue was appalling, incompetent and dishonest.

Positioning up to Belfast
The Airbus A320 enroute from LHR SNN will position out of Shannon and will be in BFS about 11pm.
Yes I agree a sad day for Shannon. However , we will all be glad of it up around Belfast International. I will be glad to see the green aircraft flying past.

just don't ever try and tell me, sitting here, in County Cork, that I am on a British Isle!
Grandad and his mates sorted that a few years ago!

i guess that the geography class in cork is as good as the one in manchester
the archipellago of western europe covering britain , ireland and all other adjacent islands is called ..... the british isles.
you may not like it, but its a non political geographic fact.
it has nothing to do with sovereignty, nor has it anything to do with anything your grandad and his mates sorted out before, unless they were working for unesco or one of those type of bodies!
so, sorry buddy, the peoples republic of cork is where it is!
lesson over

Depends what country your atlas was produced in! Many a fine map of "The British Isles" will have the 26 counties labelled as "Republic of Ireland" or even "Eire" when in fact the official name of the state as recognised by the UN/EU etc and on the pasport is plain old ''Ireland".
Officialdom in the UK seems to prefer to use ROI or EIRE instead of the correct Ireland. See arrivals channels at UK airports for example.
UEFA/FIFA/FAI do the same

Just saw the RTE News and there was a report showing the last EI service taking off to LHR. Angry passengers blaming the government showing up!
Michael O'Leary was on as well walking round the terminal wearing a Munster rugby shirt with sandwich boards saying Bye Bye to high fares to London with Aer Lingus and had his soundbites on hand. Would any other CEO do something/think of doing something like that - especially when he owns 24% of the company!
