Lufthansa dips toe in Northern Ireland with direct Frankfurt flight

A direct flight to Germany will return to Northern Ireland next year after the nation’s flag carrier Lufthansa announced a new service to Frankfurt from Belfast City Airport.

The move – which will see four weekly flights between the two destinations – is the airline’s first venture in the province and will represent the only direct air link to Germany from the Belfast airport. Previously, Ryanair had operated direct services to Germany from Belfast International Airport, prior to which Air Berlin had run a service between the two destinations.

The first Lifthansa flight will take off on 23 rd April 2023 and run on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday on an Embraer aircraft offering both business and economy services.
