I don't have records as to exactly when Capital began operating Luton-Belfast City other than it was at least November 1988 or before. Flights to Dublin started 27th March 1989 using a Viscount leased from British Air Ferries (G-AOYN), replaced by their first 146 in August 1989. The company went into administration on 28th June 1990.
