Dropping off at BIA is business as usual

Published: 20 June 2006

Those drivers wishing to drop off passengers at Belfast International Airport can still do so, however new pick up procedures will come into place this week:

Passengers using the set down area  

Drivers dropping passengers off at the airport should follow the signs to the set down zone.  This zone is for drop off only.  Waiting or collecting passengers is not permitted.

Drivers of High Sided vehicles (2.1m or over) should proceed to the long stay car park where a drop off grace period of 10 minutes is in operation.

Passengers dropped off in Long Stay should use the Q-Park courtesy bus to get to the terminal building.

Meeters and Greeters

All drivers collecting passengers should follow the signage to the Short Stay & Pick Up car park.  Drivers should then proceed to Arrivals to meet passengers at the designated meeting point.

Passengers being collected

Passengers should arrange to meet friends or family at the meeting point in Arrivals.

We would appeal to all airport users to show consideration to departing passengers by using the designated short stay and pick-up facility.

We apologise to all passengers and users of the airport for any confusion caused by conflicting stories in the media.
