Edinburgh Airport is welcoming new flights from Flybe to Belfast, Northern Ireland.
This comes two years after Flybe went into administration but in 2021 and then launched in 2022 as Flybe Ltd. Flybe's fleet of 32 jets connects the UK and Europe with affordable flights.
Flybe’s inaugural flight from Edinburgh Airport took off today, June 23, bound for Belfast City Airport, marking the beginning of up to three daily flights between Edinburgh and Belfast City Airport. This further adds to the airline’s offering in Scotland having commenced flights from Glasgow Airport in April.

Dave Pflieger, Flybe’s CEO said: “We’re delighted to be starting flights today from Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh. Flybe is committed to providing consumers with more choice, everyday great value, and more ways to connect to the people and experiences that matter most.
"Our goal is not only to ensure better UK regional connectivity, but also to be the number one choice for regional flights in the UK and between the UK and EU. We’re confident that our new route from Edinburgh to Belfast, along with our many other routes, will help make this possible.”
Gordon Robertson, Communications and Sustainability Director of Edinburgh Airport said: “It’s great to see us work with Flybe to increase connectivity from Scotland to Belfast, especially as we come into the summer season and people begin to plan trips and reunions with family and friends. We know this additional capacity will be welcomed by customers and we look forward to welcoming the “new” Flybe to Edinburgh Airport.”
