George Best Belfast City Airport is owned by ABN AMRO Global Infrastructure Fund. It is a regional airport serving mostly short-haul in Great Britain and Ireland. Situated on the south shore of Belfast Lough the airport has grown significantly in recent years and is a key strategic gateway to the province. GBBCA first opened as a commercial airport in 1938 and was launched as the Harbour Airport for commercial traffic in 1983. The new terminal opened in Jun-2001. Today, the airport's primary market is the short haul scheduled services sector and there are no plans to be targeting the long haul passenger markets.
