Easyjet To Create Over 100 New Jobs At Belfast International Airport
Budget airline easyjet is to create over 100 new jobs at Belfast International Airport.
The airline is adding a further 250,000 seats to its summer 2016 schedule.
The additional jobs come at no cost to the taxpayer.
Belfast International Airport Business Development Director, Uel Hoey, said: "It's important to remember that this growth comes in advance of any Air Route Development Fund which we expect to be announced shortly.
"The Fund should serve to accelerate growth and deliver links to markets not already served from Northern Ireland. While the finishing touches are being put to the Fund, the airport and our airlines are in expansion mode, growing the business, extending the route network and creating jobs.
"We could do much more, and can't wait to see the remit, scope and extent of the fund, which has been years in the making."
