Belfast International Airport ups its game with addition of JD

Sports retailer JD is the latest addition to the retail portfolio at Belfast International Airport following on from the introduction of a successful 'pop-up' outlet to coincide with the Euro 2016 football tournament.

The new 1,844 sq ft JD outlet will employ eight staff and is situated in the departures area.  Offering a wide range of sports clothing, footwear and accessories JD is also the official partner of the Irish Football Association (IFA) so is the only place to get your replica Northern Ireland football kit.
