Katy Best, Commercial and Marketing Director at Belfast City Airport, said:

“Through Flybe, Belfast City Airport offers an extensive domestic route network of which Leeds Bradford is an integral service.

The new frequency is really important as it provides increased flexibility for customers who regularly travel to Belfast for both business and leisure.

“The timing of the additional service in the middle of the day allows business travellers to have more flexibility around their meetings schedule. In addition, with the many tourist sights that Belfast City and Leeds have to offer, I am sure that the wider choice of departure times will be welcomed by leisure and short break visitors.
