Uel Hoey, Business Development Director, Belfast International Airport, commented: “The launch of direct flights today to both Leeds/Bradford and East Midlands from easyJet’s base at Belfast International Airport (BFS) heralds another important chapter in easyJet’s long-established partnership with Northern Ireland. "Already recognised by consumers as the go-to airline in Belfast for their broad range of affordable seats across the UK, the timely addition of these two routes literally completes their tapestry of GB coverage from BFS, and provides a complete one-stop-shop for business and leisure fliers across the breadth of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”
