TUI announce new flight routes taking off from Belfast next summer

TUI has announced two new holiday flight routes from Northern Ireland to take off next summer.

From May 2024 it will carry passengers direct from Belfast International Airport to Cyprus and Tunisia.

In addition, it will also double its capacity of flights available from Belfast International Airport to Costa Dorada and Lanzarote.

The changes will provide holidaymakers with even greater choice on their destinations and the length of their holiday and provide more capacity on especially popular routes.

The Larnaca region of Cyprus has plenty for families, couples and those seeking a hectic nightlife. From blue flag beaches and picturesque countryside to leafy waterfront promenades and vine-wrapped tavernas Cyprus has something for everyone.

Flights will take off weekly every Thursday from May 16 until September 12.

Northern Ireland holidaymakers will have the opportunity to discover stunning resorts including Ayia Napa, Nissi Beach, Protaras and Alaminos and can choose from a range of hotels and guest experiences.

Tunisia is an ideal holiday destination with its collection of ancient towns and villages offering markets, medinas and mosques while sweeping arcs of North African sands and calm waters greet you all along its Mediterranean coast.

TUI will operate weekly flights each Sunday from May 26 until September 29 and local holidaymakers can choose from resorts include Hammamet, Monastir, Port El Kantaoui, Skanes, Sousse, Yasmine Hammamet and Mahdia.

Welcoming the changes for TUIs Summer 2024 programme, Craig Morgan Head of Ireland for TUI, said: “We are delighted to be able to announce these exciting additions to our holiday programme for summer 2024 from Belfast International Airport.

“As well as doubling our capacity for holidaymakers travelling to Costa Dorada and Lanzarote we are thrilled to see the welcome return of Larnaca, Cyprus which is among one of our most requested destinations and the popular destination of Tunisia.

“We want every one of our customers to be able to create a holiday as unique as they are...we have brought everything together to help our customers create the perfect TUI holiday.”

Graham Keddie, Managing Director of Belfast International Airport, added: “TUI are one of our longest-serving customers and we very much welcome the addition of new services to both Larnaca and Tunisia.
