Ryanair Launches New Belfast To Malta Route

Ryanair has launched a new Belfast to Malta route.

The twice weekly service will start in October this year.

The firm has also released seats for sale across its European network at prices starting from £9.99 for travel in March and April.

Ryanair's Head of Communications, Robin Kiely, said: "Our summer schedule, which commences in March, is already attracting record bookings, including our new routes to Faro, Lanzarote, Malaga, Tenerife and Warsaw. Belfast customers and visitors can look forward to even lower fares when they make advance bookings for their summer or winter holidays, so there's never been a better time to book a low fare flight."

Belfast International Airport's Business Development Director, Uel Hoey said: "We are delighted to see Ryanair continue to grow from Belfast International Airport with the addition of their fourteenth route since commencement of operations in summer 2016. A new service to Malta is a particularly pleasing development as it has traditionally been a good seller from Northern Ireland, and we believe that its popularity will be even more enhanced given the prevailing strength of the western and central Mediterranean holiday markets."
