Aer Lingus releases details of new flight route from Belfast City Airport

A brand new route has been announced from Belfast City Airport by Emerald Airlines, the exclusive operator of Aer Lingus Regional services.

Commencing on April 24, the new service will link Belfast with the close neighbour, the Isle of Man and bring the number of Aer Lingus routes from the airport up to 13.

Although initially it will operate four times a week, it will increase to six during the peak summer season.

Conor McCarthy, Executive Chairman at Emerald Airlines said: "We are delighted to be bolstering our Belfast City schedule by adding a new link between Belfast and the Isle of Man.

"We look forward to continuing to grow our services, providing more options for those travelling to and from Belfast."

With more flights and more choices for the travelling public, the airline is progressively bolstering its 2023 schedule, with over 2.5 million seats on sale, across 28 routes and 17 destinations in Ireland, UK, and Channel Islands.

Katy Best, Commercial Director at Belfast City Airport added: "This new service to Isle of Man will be the 13th Aer Lingus route from Belfast City Airport providing excellent choice for passengers this summer.

"The airline will also operate new routes to East Midlands, Jersey, Newcastle and Newquay. This is in addition to its existing services to Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Southampton.

"The first Aer Lingus flights operated by Emerald took off in March last year and we are very pleased with the performance and growth of the routes since then."
