A daily service between Southampton and Belfast for 2023
Eastern Airways, the UK’s regional airline, has announced the launch of a new service between Southampton and Northern Ireland
The daily flights will commence on Thursday 9th February 2023.
Roger Hage, Commercial Director, Eastern Airways, said:
“This is a major step in growing connectivity to the North of Ireland from our Southampton base.
The recent reduction in operator capacity and choice from Belfast Airports and a growing network and ambition of Belfast International Airport offers an opportunity to meet the burgeoning demand for connecting the two nations especially with such strong onward connectivity.
This welcome addition to the domestic network at Southampton and Belfast International will aid those who travel for business, visit friends and family or seek a welcome city or leisure break.”
Matt Hazelwood, Chief Commercial Officer of AGS Airports Ltd, which owns Southampton Airport, said:
“The introduction of this first-ever daily service to Belfast International Airport from Southampton is tremendous news.
“Belfast is both a fantastic city break destination and the ideal base to explore Northern Ireland, so I’m sure our passengers will be keen to take full advantage of Eastern Airways’ new route when it launches in February.
“Equally, we look forward to welcoming those passengers from across the Irish Sea who are keen to visit Southampton and all the city and the wider region has to offer.”
