EasyJet has officially launched its first flight on its new domestic route from Belfast City Airport to Edinburgh. The new route strengthens domestic connectivity and serves the increasing demand for travel between Northern Ireland and key cities across the UK. The first flight to Edinburgh took off on Sunday afternoon, 26 October, and will operate five times a week every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said: “We are delighted to celebrate the launch of our new service from Belfast City to Edinburgh today, providing even more choice for our business and leisure customers alike. As the largest airline in Northern Ireland, we are proud to offer great value fares and convenient connections for our customers looking to explore the fantastic experiences Scotland has to offer.” Ellie McGimpsey, Aviation Development Manager at Belfast City Airport, said: “EasyJet’s new Edinburgh service further strengthens our domestic offering and provides passengers with even more choice when flying from Belfast City Airport. “Launching ahead of Christmas, this route is perfectly timed for those planning a festive trip, while providing more opportunities for short breaks, family visits, or seasonal travel. The addition of this service enhances Belfast City Airport’s already comprehensive route network to Scotland, increasing frequency and offering passengers unmatched convenience for both business and leisure travel.” This new route is the eighth service EasyJet has added to its Belfast City network since launching operations there in 2021.
