Overview
- Flax & Soda, which opened Tuesday in Belfast International’s Departures Lounge, adds 280 seats and an all-day menu for departing passengers.
- The restaurant sources meats, breads, dairy, beers and spirits from Northern Ireland producers to root the offer in local taste.
- A commissioned Best of Belfast mural by local artist Keith Drury anchors the design as a statement of regional identity.
- The airport’s Lagan Bar has fully reopened with a refreshed look and more space for travelers.
- The opening sits within a £100 million upgrade led by SSP, with a 300-seat premium bar and kitchen planned later in 2026 after earlier additions such as Starbucks, Burger King and Soul & Grain.
