Ryanair Expands Flights From Belfast
While Ryanair has revealed plans for cuts to its services from Dublin, it has also just announced expansion to its Belfast service.
Just hours after the budget airline announced cut-backs in flights - and jobs - in Dublin over the €10 flight levy introduced in the October budget, a spokesman said it was introducing a new daily service from George Best Belfast City Airport to Bristol with fares starting at £10.
John Booty, Sales and Marketing Manager at the airline, said: "Ryanair is delighted to announce this new daily service from Belfast City to Bristol.
"Now residents of Northern Ireland can avail themselves of the lowest fares guaranteed."
Earier today, Ryanair announced it was to cut its flights and reduce jobs in Dublin in defiance of the €10 flight levy introduced in the Republic's Budget.
Last month, the airline announced a similar cut at Shannon airport, costing 700 Limerick workers their jobs.
Announcing the Dublin cutbacks, Ryanair’s Michael O'Leary said: "The decision by the Irish Government to introduce a flat rate €10 tourist tax from April is nothing less than 'tourism suicide'.
"This travel tax when introduced (appropriately on April Fool's Day) will exacerbate the traffic decline at Dublin, as price sensitive visitors will avoid Ireland and choose other lower cost destinations.
"As in Shannon, these cuts can and will be reversed if the Government's suicidal €10 tourism tax is reversed on or before 30th March next," he said.
