"Today's challenging economic situation makes it even more essential to establish accessible and strong links to key markets in the rest of the UK and Europe.
"These new routes will enable local business people to commute more conveniently and frequently across Europe and ensures that Northern Ireland is in a prime position to attract inward investment."
