Eastern Airways announces Belfast - Newcastle route
A new regional air link is to be provided between Belfast City airport and Newcastle.
Daily weekday flights are to be run by Eastern Airways from September 1.
Fares start at £59 one-way, including taxes and charges.
Eastern Airways started its first scheduled service from Belfast City earlier this year by securing the future of flights to the Isle of Man following the liquidation of Citywing.
The new route announcement comes a month after Eastern Airways entered into a partnership with Belfast City’s largest carrier Flybe via a franchise agreement starting on October 29.
Eastern Airways head of commercial Mathew Herzberg said: “This new non-stop service from Belfast City Airport is not only providing a convenient link to the busy commercial centre of Newcastle, but it’s also the gateway to the rest of the north east of England including Northumberland, Sunderland and Teesside.
