Building on their ‘good’ rating for disabled access from the Civil Aviation Authority, Northern Ireland’s principal airport is one of 8 major airports across the UK to partner with AccessAble.

Belfast International Airport have worked with AccessAble to create Detailed Access Guides to 23 different areas of the airport, including arrival and departure terminals.

The Guides are 100% facts, figures and photographs to travellers plan their journeys to and around the airport, covering everything from parking facilities and hearing loops, to walking distances and accessible toilets.

We know everyone’s accessibility needs are different, which is why having detailed, accurate information is so important.  It’s why all of the details you’ll find in the Guide have been checked in person, by trained surveyors.

Anna Nelson, Executive Director of AccessAble, said:

“Partnering with Belfast International Airport is very important to AccessAble. Detailed, accurate accessibility information is crucial to enable passengers to confidently and safely travel through airports, in fact transport hubs are the second most requested category of places demanded by our user community. The AccessAble website and App offer the opportunity to create real change in the way that disabled people travel, and we hope that other airports across the UK will work with us to drive this change.”

Rod Haskins, Operations Manager at Belfast International Airport, said:

“We at Belfast International Airport recognise that many travellers have unique access needs.

Working in partnership with AccessAble has provided BIA with the opportunity to reach out to these customers and their travelling companions before their journey commences.”
