Belfast International Airport has opened the Northern Quarter, a new bar and restaurant replacing the previous food court. The facility seats 180 passengers and includes a Bewley’s coffee dock.

Mount Charles completed the project with a £1 million investment. It created 40 new jobs, increasing the company's on-site staff to 80. The work strengthens a partnership between Mount Charles and the airport that has lasted over 20 years.

The Northern Quarter offers seating for quick coffee or full meals, with upgraded kitchens. It serves passengers at Northern Ireland's main airport, which handles over 6.7 million travellers each year.

Dan Owens, CEO of Belfast International Airport, stated the facility provides more food and drink choices in a welcoming space. He called it a key part of the airport's ongoing investments.

Stacey McAlister, Operations Director at Mount Charles, said the project involved recruiting and training staff to maintain high service standards. She noted the addition of Bewley’s to improve hospitality options.

The Northern Quarter operates as part of the airport's £100 million transformation programme. It serves all departing passengers.
