ITALIAN coffee franchise Costa Coffee recently launched its first store in
Northern Ireland at Belfast City Airport.

Located in the entrance hall, the popular coffee chain will give City
Airport customers and their families a wider variety of snacks and beverages
prior to departure.

Costa Coffee has over 300 stores in the UK but this is the first one to
launch in Northern Ireland and it is expected to be popular amongst regular
City Airport customers.

The new arrival caters not only for coffee lovers but also offers a wide
variety of snacks including paninis, sandwiches and pastries.

Brian Carlin, Marketing Manager of Belfast City Airport said: "The opening
of the first Costa Coffee in the Province at Belfast City Airport is great
news for our customers as it offers them a warm welcome on entry to the
airport with a great choice of drinks and snacks before their flight.

"At Belfast City Airport we are constantly trying to improve the experience
of visitors to the airport by catering for their needs."
