Aer Lingus triple routes boost at Belfast

Airport managing director, John Doran, said; "We are pleased to further enhance Northern Ireland's economic potential. The addition of Italy's second and Germany's third cities to the extensive international route network from Belfast International Airport signifies more landmark progress and adds further substance to the Aer Lingus' route network from this region. At a time when there has arguably never been a greater need for companies here to exploit their export potential we are giving them access to Europe that has never been available before."
 
Belfast International will see almost 6 million passengers use the airport this year and is in the middle of a multi-million pound development programme which has already increased the apron space for the addition of future aircraft and which will see a gradual refurbishment of the terminal building.
 
Along with the new routes additional weekly flights to Malaga and Rome have also been added. The other destinations making up the winter timetable are London Heathrow (three times daily), Paris (daily), Amsterdam (daily) and Barcelona (four days weekly). Flights to Munich and Milan will operate on three days a week (and can be booked from 12-May-08) and Lanzarote on two days a week.
