Flights between Belfast City Airport and the Isle of Man will be reinstated this Christmas, with UK regional carrier Loganair operating selected festive flights.
Loganair will operate four return services between Belfast and Douglas to allow for connectivity between the destinations over the festive break after other airlines withdrew from the route.
Loganair will operate the following services:
– Saturday 21 December and Saturday 26 December – departing Isle of Man at 15:10 and arriving at Belfast City Airport at 15:45, with the return service departing at 16:15 from Belfast City Airport and landing in Isle of Man at 16:45
– Tuesday 31 December and Thursday 2 January – departing Isle of Man at 09:55 and arriving in Belfast City Airport at 10:30, with the return service departing at 11:00 from Belfast City Airport and landing in Isle of Man at 11:30
The connection will be serviced by a 72-seater ATR-72, with fares commencing at just £64.99 one-way inclusive of luggage.
Luke Lovegrove, Chief Commercial Director, said: “It is incredibly important to us that we are able to keep passengers connected, especially over the festive period, and we’re proud that we are able to step in and reinstate a service that is relied on heavily over the holidays.
“We look forward to welcoming passengers on board as we fly them home for Christmas.”
