Belfast City Airport received the top award in the Medium Airport Category during Airport Health and Safety Week 2025.
The airport organised 27 events with 17 partner organisations to prioritise health and safety. The accolade recognises actions protecting staff, passengers, and site users.
Airports chair Ruby McGregor-Smith praised the sector’s commitment to safety culture. The award underscores ongoing compliance improvements across airports.
Fiona McCurdy shared: “At Belfast City Airport, health, safety, and security isn’t about ticking boxes – it’s about protecting the wellbeing of our staff, passengers, and all users of the airport site. This award reflects the everyday actions, big and small, that keep our colleagues and passengers safe and supported, and we remain committed to continuously raising the bar for safety and compliance.”
Ruby McGregor-Smith shared: “These awards demonstrate all the activities airports take part in and are part of a bigger story that shows the passion and pride that comes with ensuring they are as safe and healthy as possible. It shows that we are a sector that knows that safety is a value that runs through every shift, every role, every airport, and lives that notion every day. The culture all airports have built is one where wellbeing matters as much as efficiency, where vigilance is part of the daily routine, and where colleagues look out for one another like family. We are delighted to be able to continue to recognise the brilliant work of all our airports and to work with them and our partners to showcase their efforts.”
