“We now have a portfolio of 26 destinations across the UK and Europe, which are served by a record number of airline partners in the airport’s history. The enhanced connectivity will be good news for many, and we look forward to welcoming easyJet passengers to the terminal.”

All customers booking flights with easyJet benefit from some of the most flexible policies under its ‘Protection Promise’ which means that customers can book now for later this year with the confidence that if their plans change, so can their booking.

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said:

“We are delighted to be celebrating the launch of new flights from Belfast City Airport to London Gatwick for the first time today.

The safety and wellbeing of all customers and crew remains easyJet’s highest priority and the airline continues to have a number of biological safety measures in place onboard in line with guidance from the relevant authorities.
