Loganair has announced it will reinstate its popular Isle of Man to Belfast (Belfast City Airport) route for Christmas 2025, following the huge success of the route last year.
The Scottish airline – which is the leading regional airline in the UK – will operate three return flights on December 20 and 27 and January 3, to meet demand over the festive period, with tickets on sale now.
Luke Lovegrove, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said: “Reinstating our Isle of Man to Belfast City route for Christmas helps ensure passengers can travel home or welcome loved ones during the festive period. We know how important this connection is at this time of year, and we’re pleased to once again provide this valued service.
“We remain committed to supporting the Isle of Man with vital air connectivity and are proud to play our part in making Christmas travel easier and more accessible.”
Geoff Pugh, Interim Airport Director said: “We know establishing these flights for Christmas 2025 will make a real difference to the community, helping friends and family reconnect at such a special time of year. We fully recognise the ongoing demand for year-round connectivity and are actively engaging with airlines on this. In the meantime, we thank Loganair for their commitment and responsiveness to the needs of our passengers.”
Ellie McGimpsey, Aviation Development Manager at Belfast City Airport, said: “We’re pleased to see the return of Loganair’s festive flights to the Isle of Man, offering passengers a convenient option for reuniting with family and friends during one of the busiest times of the year.
“With up to 10,000 people passing through the terminal each day in the lead-up to Christmas, these seasonal services play an important role in reconnecting loved ones.
“Whether they’re travelling to the Isle of Man or returning to Belfast, with our unrivalled location just minutes from the heart of Belfast, passengers can enjoy a smooth and stress-free start to their journey.”
