BUDGET Irish carrier Ryanair will tomorrow announce plans to return to Belfast with several new domestic and European routes in the pipeline - including a much coveted link with German capital Berlin.

Initially launching with flights to London Gatwick from Belfast International Airport, it is understood the airline will add other European routes to Barcelona and Brussels as well as domestic links to Leeds/Bradford, East Midlands and Newcastle.

So eight new routes from Belfast International Airport. I wonder if this has come as a direct result of Ryanair's failed attempt to takeover Aer Lingus? Feathers have been ruffled! It will also be interesting to see if Flybe respond by adding or chopping flights from Belfast City. To be honest though, Flybe need to improve on their punctuality record. "Fly Maybe" is what I have heard some people refer to them as.

NEW BELFAST ROUTES TO GDANSK, WARSAW & WROCLAW LAUNCHED
27 Apr 2016
KJ%20Belfast%20Apr16.jpg


Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (27 Apr) further expanded its Belfast winter 2016 schedule with 3 new routes to Gdansk, Warsaw and Wroclaw, in addition to the 7 new routes announced earlier to Alicante, Berlin, Krakow, Lanzarote, Malaga, Milan and Tenerife, as well as extra daily flights (5) to London Gatwick, which will deliver over1m customers p.a. and support 750* jobs at Belfast International Airport.

Ryanair’s Belfast W 2016 schedule will deliver:

  • 3 based aircraft
  • 10 new routes to: Alicante (2 wkly), Berlin (3 wkly), Gdansk (2 wkly), Krakow (3 wkly), Lanzarote (2 wkly),
Malaga (3 wkly), Milan (2 wkly), Tenerife (2 wkly), Warsaw (2 wkly) & Wroclaw (2 wkly)

  • More flights to: London Gatwick (5 daily)
  • 11 routes in total
  • 60 weekly flights
  • Over 1m customers p.a.
  • 750* “on-site” jobs p.a.
These new Belfast routes make Ryanair the perfect choice for NI business and leisure customers, who can now choose from 11 Belfast routes in winter 2016 at the lowest fares and look forward to further improvements, under Ryanair’s “Always Getting Better” programme, which includes more new routes, new digital features, new cabin interiors and even more low fares.

Ryanair’s Chief Marketing Officer, Kenny Jacobs said:

“We are pleased to launch 3 new routes from our Belfast base to Gdansk, Warsaw and Wroclaw, as part of our winter 2016 schedule, in addition to the 7 new routes announced earlier to Alicante, Berlin, Krakow, Lanzarote, Malaga, Milan and Tenerife, and the extra flights to London Gatwick (5 x daily), which will deliver over 1 million customers p.a. and support 750 jobs at Belfast International Airport. Our new Polish routes will be ideal for both business and leisure customers and we look forward to growing routes, traffic and jobs in Belfast in the coming months and years.

To celebrate, we are releasing seats for sale from just £19.99 our new Gdansk, Warsaw and Wroclaw routes, which are available for booking until Wednesday (4 May) for travel in November and December. Since these amazing low prices will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out.”

Belfast International Airport Managing Director, Graham Keddie, said:

“This is more fantastic news from Ryanair. It means that this winter should be one of our busiest ever. Gdansk, Warsaw and Wroclaw follow Krakow and deliver a very comprehensive network to a new and important Polish market.

We currently stand as the eleventh largest airport in the UK, but I expect that with continuing airline expansion and growth in passenger numbers, we will break into the 'Top Ten' before too long. The airport is delivering real economic benefit for Northern Ireland and that means new employment and business opportunities.

These new Polish routes are delivered without any government support and show only a fraction of what could be achieved if APD were removed. Despite this ‘headwind’, we’re making great progress and have reason to believe we can maintain the momentum.”

Can the BFS market sustain 2 new entrants into the Market from nothing? Especially with Ryanair's fierce pricing strategy. Granted Jet2 (Jet2holidays) are once weekly with a 737-300 (148 seats) but BFS are going from 0 weekly to 3 weekly service.

I hope they can both co-exist and the market is there to sustain 526 seats a week. Mind you there is the Ryanair affect and i'm sure with Jet2's long reputation at BFS MLA will be successful for all. I hope so anyway.
 
Warsaw Modlin is not currently available beyond the end of August. There was always a chance that smaller UK-Poland routes could face the chop in the event of the B-word going badly, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

Click to expand...

A poster on the DP states that Belfast International-Modlin will be axed from 31 August as 12 routes from Modlin are to cease and two of the based Modlin aircraft removed.

Currently BFS and NCL are the only UK airports amongst the 12 to be axed - with NCL going at the end of next month.

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.

Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
