The airline’s customers in Northern Ireland will now be able to explore even more of the UK and Europe, with flights operating twice a week to the Isle of Man throughout the year and flights to Naples and Valencia operating twice a week throughout the summer season. Tickets are now on sale on the easyJet website.
Fares from Belfast to the Isle of Man fares start from £22.66, fares from Belfast to Naples fares start from £18.70 and fares from Belfast to Valencia fares start from £26.70.
The addition of these destinations to the network brings easyJet’s number of routes from Belfast to 31. The announcement follows the news that the airline will add a sixth aircraft to the base, which is due for delivery in June 2018.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager commented: “We’re really pleased to be adding even more routes to our Belfast network and to be putting flights on sale today, allowing our customers to book early and take advantage of our lowest fares to a great variety of destinations.
“EasyJet is the largest airline in Northern Ireland and we have been committed to Belfast airport for over 18 years. We are proud to have carried over 50 million passengers in that time.
“We’re committed to expansion at Belfast Airport and the addition of new routes and additional aircraft will help us to deliver long term, sustainable growth, providing passengers with a greater range of destinations, all with low fares and great service.”
EasyJet has flown over 50 million passengers since it launched operations from Belfast over 18 years ago, and over four million passengers in FY 2017. The airline’s operation continues to grow, having seen a 5.2 per cent increase in capacity of seats offered from Belfast compared to the previous financial year.
The airline continues to be the largest carrier serving Northern Ireland, operating over 70 per cent of flights from Belfast International Airport and almost 50 per cent of all commercial passenger traffic across Northern Ireland.
