"We anticipate these new routes to be popular amongst those travelling for both business and leisure purposes, and we look forward to providing that increased connectivity to and from Belfast.”

The airline operates Aer Lingus Regional flights from Dublin and Belfast City Airport and is now flying 23 routes and counting. Appreciating that many of its customers like to plan early to take advantage of the best possible prices, seats are on sale now at aerlingus.com and are currently available for travel through the entire summer.

It comes after UK airline Ryanair announced plans to invest $300 million in aid of the construction of three new planes based at Leeds Bradford Airport while adding 15 new routes to their summer schedule.

From next week Wizz Air and TUI will also be transferring flights to Leeds Bradford – this comes after the permanent closure of nearby Doncaster Sheffield.
