Ryanair has announced it will be removing its service from the George Best Belfast International airport due to the failure of the promised new runway. The Irish base firm were promised the new runway would be up and running but after 3 years it is still to start construction.
The airline operated routes to 5 UK destinations including East Midlands, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow and London.
The airport owners were disappointed with Ryanair’s decision but stressed the passenger numbers proved there was enough demand for another airline to fill the void left by the departing Ryanair.
Around 50 staff will lose their jobs or be re-allocated around the UK and Europe.
