Cardiff Airport announces additional flights to Belfast due to 'strong demand'

Cardiff Airport has announced additional flights to Belfast following strong demand over the summer and less than four months since the service was relaunched. Aer Lingus regional services, operated by Emerald Airlines, will add two further weekly flights between the capital cities.

The extra departures will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, increasing the current five-time weekly service to a daily operation over next summer. Flights are now on sale and available to book with fares starting from £39.99.

Marc Watkins, aviation development manager at Cardiff Airport, said: "We knew there was pent-up demand for a regular and reliable connection between these two capital cities when the Belfast service launched just four months ago. The route from Cardiff has proven to be a flyaway success within a few weeks with strong loads over the summer.
