Aer Arann suspend Dublin-Belfast service
The Belfast City to Dublin airline route has been suspended, it was announced yesterday.
Aer Arann, the airline behind the route, blamed low passenger numbers for the suspension of the service.
In a statement, the Irish regional airline said: "While disappointed with the development, the consistently low load factors experienced on the route necessitated the airline's decision to suspend services."
Launched in June, the route was aimed specifically at business passengers. It was hoped that the new route would carry around 40,000 passengers per year. These figures never materialised.
The service will be suspended from Monday 25th August.
