EasyJet has put 140,000 extra seats on sale from Belfast’s two airports, with two new routes launching from Belfast International.
The airline is adding an eighth Airbus A320 aircraft to its fleet at Belfast International, allowing it to launch two summer routes to Greek island Rhodes and Antalya in Turkey.
It has also announced two new year-round domestic routes from Belfast City, to Luton and Manchester, which will take off for the first time on June 26.
Departures will be on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays throughout the year.
EasyJet will also base an aircraft in Belfast City overnight from June, allowing the airline to provide a 6am departure to Gatwick.
The additional seats, previously served by Flybe, will “maintain domestic connectivity and help serve the demand for domestic travel”, said the carrier.
Ali Gayward, easyJet UK country manager, said: “We know how important it is to support UK connectivity so people can visit friends and loved ones, do business, and explore more of what the UK has to offer, so we are delighted to be providing customers with even more direct and convenient domestic connections that we know will prove popular for business and leisure travellers alike, all with great value fares and friendly service.”
