Answer
I fully recognise Belfast International Airport’s (BIA) role, not only as central in building our economy and as a key gateway for Northern Ireland but also as a main employer in the local area.
I am committed to working alongside my Executive colleagues, the Finance and Economy Ministers, on maintaining connectivity across these islands and further afield.
I am due to meet with the airport alongside Executive colleagues given our shared responsibilities.
