G8 summit June 2013

[jackd166]

It was announced this morning that Enniskillen will be hosting the G8 summit in the middle of June 2013. Will these government aircraft be arriving at Belfast International Airport?
I hope closer to the time there will be information released so that we can see these rare birds in Northern Ireland.

Thanks!
