New Route Announced From Belfast To Cardiff

A new route from Belfast City Airport to Cardiff is to launch this summer.

Stobart Air, operator of Aer Lingus Regional routes, confirmed flights to the Welsh capital will commence on 28 June and will operate up to four times a week.

The airline currently flies from Belfast City Airport to Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Exeter, Leeds Bradford, London Heathrow, and Manchester, and recently announced it would commence a summer service to popular staycation destination, Newquay.

Ellie McGimpsey, Aviation Development Manager at Belfast City Airport, said: "Stobart Air already boasts an impressive network from Belfast City Airport, serving key destinations across both England and Scotland.

"With the welcome addition of this Cardiff service, the airline now adds Wales to that portfolio, creating a UK-wide offering to customers in Northern Ireland.

"We are delighted by the announcement, which not only strengthens our partnership with Stobart Air and Aer Lingus Regional but also further enhances the choice and convenience we promise to our passengers, and we look forward to the route taking off later in June."
