The island of Ireland's first airport rail connection is among proposals in a new plan for Belfast City Airport that officials say could bring almost £2bn of investment to Northern Ireland.

The draft, which was unveiled on Tuesday, is part of the 2040 Master Plan and includes a proposal to install a train stop at the airport.

Airport bosses said that by 2040 the plan could generate £1.7bn in economic benefit.

The draft plan is open for public consultation until 11 November.
