United Airlines has announced its Belfast to New York service will now be year-round.
In addition to its current schedule, the airline will now also operate the service to Newark Liberty International airport from January 7 to March 10th 2016, three times weekly.
The flight leaves Belfast at 11.10am, arriving in Newark at 2pm. The return leg leaves Newark at 9.45pm and arrives in Belfast at 9.10am the next day.
United’s managing director sales, UK and Ireland, Bob Schumacher, said: "We’re pleased to offer our Northern Irish customers a year-round direct link to New York.
"New York remains a popular destination for travellers and our Newark Liberty hub provides the most convenient route into the city as well as easy connections to hundreds of other destinations across the United States and beyond. With this schedule change, we are offering our customers even more choice."
Belfast International Airport managing director, Graham Keddie, said: "The decision by United to return to full year-round service is of great significance to the Northern Ireland economy."
