Operated by Stobart Air, Aer Lingus Regional has added a Glasgow service to its route network from George Belfast City Airport.
The new route will start on 1 July and will initially operate daily with 11 flights weekly. In August the regional carrier plans to increase its service to 19 weekly flights.
“Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Stobart Air, is a much-valued airline partner at Belfast City Airport, and the addition of Glasgow to the network will offer further choice and flexibility to our passengers,” said Katy Best, Commercial Director at the Belfast hub. “With up to 19 flights per week, the convenient flight schedule will no doubt appeal to both business travellers who can book a same-day return, and those seeking to reunite with friends and family or take a short break this summer.”
The addition of the Glasgow link brings the total number of destinations served by Aer Lingus and Aer Lingus Regional from Belfast City Airport to 10 and provides additional choice and frequency for customers wishing to travel between Belfast and Glasgow.
Andy Jolly, Managing Director at Stobart Air, added that Stobart has called on the UK Government and the Northern Ireland Executive to support the industry and work with all industry stakeholders on a plan and timeline for the resumption of safe air travel. He also underlined that the airline operator is “committed to providing our passengers with frequent, convenient and affordable services through our regional connections… and pleased to add this new route to its network in light of the successful COVID-19 vaccination rollout allowing air travel to increase safely.”
Aer Lingus Regional already flies to Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Exeter, Leeds Bradford, and Manchester from Belfast City Airport. It also recently announced new services to Cardiff and Newquay, which will commence on 28 June.
