Friday, 4 March 20163 min read

Ryanair has unveiled seven new routes in its winter schedules for its return to Belfast.

Services to Alicante, Berlin, Malaga and Milan will start in September and flights to Krakow, Lanzarote and Tenerife start in October.

It has also added extra Belfast-London Gatwick flights, which begin operating at the end of this month.

Ryanair stopped flying from Belfast in 2010 following delays to a planned runway extension.

It will base three aircraft at the airport and says it will fly 1 million customers a year from Belfast.

Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said: "Our five times daily London Gatwick service will be perfect for both business and leisure customers and we look forward to growing routes, traffic and jobs in Belfast in the coming months and years."

He also called everyone in Northern Ireland to vote ‘Yes’ to Europe in the Brexit referendum in June.
