Like all UK airports, we are implementing the latest government guidance from the Public Health Agency (PHA)). This includes:

• All passengers should wear face coverings in the terminal.
• Where possible, only passengers with boarding passes will be allowed into the airport at this time. Clear markings on social distancing throughout the terminal.
• A one way system for passengers entering and exiting the building  will be operating throughout the airport to manage social distancing regulations
• Hand sanitizer and hand washing facilities will be available at various points throughout the airport.
• Hygiene screens installed at close contact points
• Seating areas distanced with space markings
• Some catering and retail outlets have reopened on a limited basis 
• Drinking water is available via water refill stations and vending machines. (please bring your own water bottle.)
• Specific measures to ensure the safety of all staff

•  

We remain in constant contact with PHA and will implement any new measures as and when directed.

Please help us by ensuring you:

• do not travel if you are unwell
• only travel if you have an essential reason to do so
• respect social distancing guidelines
• wash hands/use hand sanitiser regularly
• catch coughs and sneezes in a tissue and dispose of after use

Passengers arriving in the UK will be required to share contact details, travel information and may be required to self-isolate for 14 days. Click here for more information.

You may not have to self-isolate when you arrive in Northern Ireland, if you are returning from certain countries.  

That is because these countries or territories are: exempted countries or British overseas territories.

This list is continually under review and self-isolation requirements could be reintroduced at any time for public health reasons.

The list of exempted countries is available here

Public Health Agency is the UK Government’s lead agency on Coronavirus. BIA is implementing all its latest guidance.

PHA has implemented a number of measures including early warning of illnesses on flights and a UK wide public information campaign.

All passengers must follow the latest guidance issued by the UK Government. Click here for more information.

Not currently as the latest government advice is that temperature screening is not effective on its own.

Yes, passengers must wear a face covering while in the terminal building.

Crucially, you should not  get a false sense of security about the level of protection provided by wearing a face covering. It is essential that everyone continues to:

• practice social distancing as much as possible
• wash their hands thoroughly throughout the day
• ‘catch it, kill it, bin it’ when they sneeze or cough

That’s still the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. For more information and exemptions click here.

Yes, however this only applies within the terminal building.  You MUST check with your airline for their rules on the wearing of face masks / coverings

• If you are under the age of 13
• if you have a physical or mental illness or impairment, or a disability that means you cannot put on, wear or remove a face covering
• if putting on, wearing or removing a face covering would cause you severe distress
• if you are travelling with, or providing assistance to, someone who relies on lip reading to communicate
• if you need to remove it during your journey to avoid harm or injury or the risk of harm or injury to yourself or others
• if you need to eat, drink, or take medication you can remove your face covering
• if you are asked to remove your face covering by a police officer or other official

There is no need to get a letter from a doctor or government to show that you do not need to wear a face covering.
