Boal Car Park @ IKEA has been ordered to close within the next month due to a planning appeal rejection. The Planning committee claimed there is no "need" for Boal Car Park, despite our closure would result in George Best Belfast City Airport to enjoy a car parking monopoly, the only airport in the British Isles which can claim to have a monopoly and no other competitors.

We already offer cheaper prices to our customers, please show your support and help keep us open and benefit the people of Northern Ireland with the right of a choice in a free market.

Thanks,

Boal Car Park Team

At Belfast City airport, an elderly passenger such as me (84) generally has to park far from the terminal building and haul his luggage on foot in all weathers to the terminal. There is no shuttle bus, unlike Boal's which offers a regular free shuttle.

Why is there no need for off-site car parking? To enable the airport to charge whtever it likes for long stay. What happened to free market competition? The cheapest option offered by the airport costs double what BOAL charged over the samae period.

Sure miss this car park. Just received a quote for £45.00 for 3 days in the long stay car park and I'll probably have to walk the distance Boal's minibus would normally have driven me......and kept me dry if it raining. Hope you can reopen soon.

This is a hopeless decision. There was already a car park there. This is damaging to our economy, allows profiteering, is annoying to citizens, and makes everyone involved look stupid. Carl McClean Deputy Mayor Ards and North Down Borough Council

This is a disgrace, the city airport parking fees are extortionate and without any competition will only get worse. I thought the local government was supposed to be trying to keep people in employment not standing back watching them lose their jobs

The true sign of local government not working for the man on the street.

i have said this before when ever a business opens that give the people here a good deal how come these people from the likes off the dup want it closed down. it makes you wonder what is behind it when they can see the airport is ripping people off. i have used this parking before and found it very good on price and the workers from the driver who takes you to the airport to the staff who keep a eye on the cars to be very good at what they do and very respectful . i for the love off god do not understand these parties who are suppose to be working for the people seem to be out to cost the public more than they should pay. it makes you wonder what is really going on.
