Me kahi kokoke i 4,000 mau kamaaina hānau Kelemania e noho ana ma Northern Ireland, e hāʻawi pū ke ala hou i kahi ala i makemake nui ʻia no ke kipa ʻana i nā hoaaloha a me nā ʻohana, kahi mea ʻaʻole i kēia manawa ma Northern Ireland.
Ua hoʻohui ʻo Marion Lübbeke, Kanikela Hanohano no Kelemania i ʻIlelani ʻĀkau:
“Hoʻomaikaʻi iā Belfast City Airport i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kēia ala hou i Frankfurt International Airport.
"ʻOliʻoli mākou i ka ʻike ʻana iā Lufthansa, kekahi o nā mokulele nui o ka honua, e hele mai ana i Northern Ireland a wehe i nā manawa hou no ka ʻoihana a me ka mākaʻikaʻi. He huakaʻi huakaʻi kaulana ʻo ʻIlelani ʻĀkau no ka poʻe malihini mai Kelemania e makemake ana i ke kahakai nani, nā kūlanakauhale haʻalulu a ma luna o nā mea a pau, ka hoʻokipa ʻoluʻolu o nā kānaka.
E hoʻokele ʻia nā mokulele i Frankfurt ma ka Pōʻakahi, Pōʻakolu, Pōʻalima, a me nā Lāpule e kahi mokulele Embraer a e hāʻawi i nā lawelawe ʻoihana ʻoihana a me ka ʻoihana waiwai.
