Good news to hear that Aer Lingus are taking over the EXT-DUB route.
If the times quoted are correct, then presumably using a Belfast based aircraft flying BHD-EXT-DUB-EXT-BHD?

It would certainly seem from the timings that EXT's DUB route is in the middle of a 'W' diagram.

BA CityFlyer covering the former Stobart Air rotation between Belfast City and Exeter from today (Sunday 13th June 2021) with Embraer E190 G-LCYN currently en-route to EXT on flight BA4479.
Well done to BA for stepping in quickly to cover. Does anyone know if this is a short-term cover for this week or intended to be a permanent new route for BA?

CM has posted in the Aer Lingus airline forum quoting SeanM on Twitter that Emerald Airlines will operate EXT-DUB 5 x weekly from 29 April 2022 on behalf of Aer Lingus (a number of other UK-DUB routes also begin in March and April).

Tickets are expected to be on sale 'imminently'.

Exeter-Belfast City should be on sale soon with Emerald. There should be 8 weekly flights.
