Eastern Airways is to introduce a new daily service between Southampton and Belfast International, a first link to Northern Ireland’s busiest airport from its English South Coast hub.
The Humberside Airport-based regional airline is supporting calls for more routes from the country, with flights to begin on February 9, ahead of half-term.
Eastern had previously operated a Southampton - Belfast City route, stepping in to help economic recovery and stability following the withdrawal of two carriers pre-pandemic, and grew the route until the same airlines were welcomed back again. One has since dropped away, leaving only Irish national flag carrier Aer Lingus in Belfast City.
