Number Of RoI Car Park Transactions Increases By 135%
The number of Republic of Ireland (RoI) car park transactions for the period 14 July to 14 August increased by 135% on the same period last year, according to Belfast International Airport.
The airport also confirmed it has seen a surge in the number of passengers coming from the RoI.
Using the airport's own on-line car park booking system, 11% of the total were registered vehicles in the RoI.
The increases mean that over the course of this year, the airport will see over 600,000 RoI passengers.
Belfast International Airport Managing Director, Graham Keddie, said: "This is a quite incredible performance. People from across the border are getting amazing value for their euro at present and are making the most of the exchange advantage.
"We also embarked on an extensive advertising campaign in the six southern border counties and that has obviously paid off too. It has been so good that we intend rolling out a second campaign shortly.
"Generating business of this magnitude, and producing a revenue increase of an incredible 250%, shows there's huge potential across the border.
"We offer a great list of UK and international destinations to both the continent and the United States of America and are determined to expand routes to offer greater passenger choice."
