Just to stop you before you feel you are right
3i don't own the land so they can't have urban village.

Belfast Harbour Commissioners own the land. There use to be one of the world's largest shipyards on it's land, still exists but on much smaller patch H&W. As it shrank, they have changed the land use. BHC have been building office blocks, leasing land for office blocks and various other uses. Real estate is putting loads of money into the pot.
Do you think that BHC would not see the potential for this land to change use and make ££££££££££s instead of a bit of tarmac earning £. I am sure they could make a deal with the owners of BHD

The airport is part of the reason the rest of the BHC land portfolio is doing well. Connectivity is key and that small area caters for road, rail, air and sea connections.
Despite your well thought out forensic insights, I suspect BHD will be around for some time yet.

My goodness you actually do believe that the success of BHD is key to the future of the Port of Belfast.

As a side note
The aircraft factory has just gone up in flames
On BBC can't get visual as trees in way
Not the Airbus wings section
It looks like down near main building.

So after yesterdays " International airport open for business" on every social media platform we get this one dug up again.
As usual no follow up on how birds kept under control at the other council "nature reserves for poor endangered species"

Stobart thread indicates that they have applied for BHD-LGW slots.

Not being funny but look where Flybe ended up, and Easy have 150+ seats to spread the cost.

Or 150+ seats to fill.

No football, no horse racing or 12th of July this summer

They're not offering anywhere near the capacity of BE. Slow and steady I think is the approach, if anything I could see them rising fares before capacity.
