easyJet today launched its inaugural flight on a new route from Glasgow to Belfast City airport.
The new service is now operating up to three times a week on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout the winter season until 24 March 2023.
The new route provides customers in Scotland with more convenient connections across the UK for this winter.
Customers travelling from Glasgow have plenty of choice when it comes to exploring more of the UK and Europe with easyJet this winter, with flights across 24 routes to 12 countries.
With even more direct connections now taking off to Belfast, a winter break to Northern Ireland’s capital promises a lively atmosphere, cultural gems and plenty of family friendly activities including a visit to the famous Titanic Belfast UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Giant’s Causeway.
Belfast City Airport is also just a five-minute journey from the heart of the capital, which makes it the best option for business and leisure travellers looking for a convenient commute.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager said “We are delighted to be celebrating the first flights taking off today on our new service from Glasgow to Belfast City, further strengthening our network from Scotland and providing our customers whether they’re travelling for leisure or business with more convenient connections across the UK, which we know are already proving popular with those looking to explore and enjoy all the UK has to offer this winter.
“We are proud to be the largest airline in Glasgow and in Scotland and are committed to offering our customers more choice, great value fares and a fantastic service when they fly with us.”
Ronald Leitch, Operations Director at Glasgow Airport, said “We are delighted to welcome the crew and passengers of easyJet’s inaugural Belfast City Airport service.
“Links between the West of Scotland and the Northern Irish capital have always been extremely popular with our business and leisure passengers, so it’s fantastic that they can now enjoy even greater choice and flexibility via this new service.”
