George Best Belfast City Airport (IATA: BHD, ICAO: EGAC) is a single-runway airport in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Situated in County Down, it is adjacent to the Port of Belfast and is 3 mi (5 km) from Belfast City Centre. It shares the site with the Short Brothers/Bombardier aircraft manufacturing facility. The airport began commercial operations in 1983, and was known as "Belfast City Airport" until it was renamed in 2006 in memory of George Best, the professional footballer from Belfast. The airport has a CAA public use aerodrome licence (number P862) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction.
The airport primarily handles intra-UK flights. It handled over 2.7 million passengers in 2010, its peak year, and slightly below 2.6 million in 2017. It is a major base for Flybe, which began operations at the airport in 1993 and is now the largest operator at Belfast City. In 2012 Aer Lingus opened a base at the airport, transferring operations from Belfast International Airport. Ground handling is provided by Swissport and Menzies Aviation, the latter also offering cargo handling services.
