British Airways is extending three of its newest domestic routes to support vital business and leisure links between Northern Ireland and key cities across the UK.
Flights between Belfast and Birmingham will operate twice daily, increasing to three times a day on Thursday and Friday. Flights from Belfast to Exeter, Glasgow and Leeds will also increase compared to summer frequencies.
The additional services will be operated using BA CityFlyer’s existing fleet of Embraer 190 aircraft.
The airline has also launched a new route to Salzburg, operating from London City and Southampton. Offering customers a new destination idea for skiing this Winter, flights operate twice a week from London City, on Friday and Saturday from December 10, and once a week from Southampton, on Saturday, from December 11.
Return fares start from £109 from London City and £75 from Southampton.
Tom Stoddart, managing director of BA CityFlyer which operates the routes, said: "This year has shown how much customers want to stay connected with the rest of the UK.
"We’re responding to the customer demand we saw over the last few months by extending some of our newest UK routes from Belfast City Airport."
Katy Best, commercial director at Belfast City Airport, added: “British Airways has a longstanding presence at Belfast City Airport, and its introduction of regional services earlier this year has been strongly welcomed by our passengers who know and enjoy the excellent BA product.
“This latest increase in frequency is superb news for those who want to plan ahead and book winter staycations or weekend breaks in Birmingham, Exeter, Glasgow or Leeds. The convenient flight times will also be attractive to business travellers who avail of can same day returns.”
