Daily flights between East Midlands Airport and Belfast City will start from March 26th this year, with Emerald Airlines as the carrier.
The firm, operator of the Aer Lingus Regional network, will start with a daily service, and will increase up to double daily from mid-April.
Ciarán Smith, Head of Commercial at Emerald Airlines said: “As the demand for travel options from Belfast only increases, this new route will no doubt be warmly welcomed. Earlier this week we announced that we will be adding 15,000+ seats immediately across our existing network from Belfast City, and we will continue growing these services in the months ahead.”
Steve Griffiths, East Midlands Airport’s MD, said: “This news will be well received by the passengers who make use of this popular route which is an important part of our domestic offer. We look forward to working with the airline as they seek further opportunities to grow their operation here.”
With more flights and more choice for the travelling public, the airline is progressively bolstering its Summer 2023 Schedule. Emerald Airlines will add 180,000+ extra seats this Summer from Belfast City Airport, operating over 400 weekly flights this Summer to and from Belfast.
