The UK government has announced funding to keep the air route between City of Derry Airport and Stansted Airport open for another year.
Up to 19 return flights a week will be supported under the subsidy which has been in place since 2017. It amounts to £1.1 million from both the Department of Transport and the Northern Ireland Department for the Economy.
Funding has been secured using a Public Service Obligation (PSO), which allows government to protect vital air connectivity into London, with Loganair again selected to operate the route. The Scottish airline took over running of the route following the recent demise of FlyBMI.
