Aer Lingus Announces New Route From Belfast To Alicante
Aer Lingus has announced a new route from Belfast to Alicante and more frequency on its existing flights to sun routes in 2016.
The new schedule will see the airline introduce five services per week to Alicante on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, starting on 29 April 2016. Services to both Faro and Malaga will increase from seven flights to nine per week, with additional flights now operating on Tuesday and Thursday, amounting to 40,000 additional seats.
Flights to Palma will increase from two services per week to five, operating on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday with 25,000 extra seats.
Flights between Belfast City Airport and London Heathrow will benefit from a 21% capacity increase.
Aer Lingus Chief Commercial Officer, Mike Rutter said: "Aer Lingus was the fastest growing choice to the sun in Belfast in Summer 2015. This was achieved through a combination of the lowest fares in the market and the convenience of Belfast City Airport. On the back of this we've added a new route to Alicante and increased frequencies on our existing sun routes to Malaga, Faro and Palma, with over 100,000 additional seats to the sun throughout our summer schedule, to and from Belfast."
