George Best Belfast City Airport — Belfast, United Kingdom

George Best Belfast City Airport takes its name from the legendary Manchester United and Northern Ireland footballer, a Belfast native honored with the renaming in 2006. The field sits directly on Belfast Lough at just 15 feet above sea level, a short hop from downtown Belfast, which makes BHD the more convenient of the city's two airports for a quick trip. A single runway limits the field to shorter-haul routes, since its length constrains larger aircraft compared with Belfast's other airport further out of town. Its waterfront location near the Titanic Quarter puts it within a short taxi ride of central Belfast, unlike the international airport roughly 20 miles away near Aldergrove. Scheduled routes here focus mainly on domestic UK destinations and short European hops.
