Airfields & aerodromes by area
Northern Ireland airfields and aerodromes
Northern Ireland is compact but varied VFR country, with Belfast-area controlled airspace, Lough Neagh as a huge central reference, and enjoyable coast-and-hill routes towards the Mournes, Sperrins and Causeway Coast. Cross-border and sea-adjacent alternates deserve an early check.
VFR area references
Northern Ireland references to brief include:
- Lough Neagh, Lough Erne and the River Bann
- Belfast Lough, Strangford Lough and the Ards Peninsula
- the Mourne Mountains and Slieve Donard
- the Causeway Coast, Antrim Glens and Sperrin Mountains

Briefing snapshot
EGBO looks workable for a local VFR departure on the latest picture: surface wind is light, visibility is good, and no runway closure is highlighted in this snapshot. The main briefing item is the lighting serviceability notice, so plan a daylight arrival or confirm PAPI availability before committing. Cross-check the current METAR, TAF, and full NOTAM list before departure.
