Ryanair departs Belfast City Airport - Flybe takes over

Flybe has announced three new routes to Bristol, East Midlands and Liverpool from Belfast. This news comes following Ryanair’s decision to pull out of George Best Belfast City Airport back in August of this year. Air links between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK are very important for the NI economy and tourism, and so Flybe is playing a key role in the country’s growth and development by providing connectivity.

The new routes started on Sunday and Flybe has reported positive feedback from customers who are pleased that they can continue to fly direct from Belfast to these destinations.

These routes are very important for business and tourism customers, with four flights a day from Belfast to Liverpool and two a day to Bristol and East Midlands.
