Aer Lingus make one millionth Belfast booking
19.05.09
Aer Lingus has taken its one millionth booking since launching its base at Belfast International Airport 17 months ago. It has become the second biggest airline operating from the airport behind low-cost airline easyJet, although it announced last week that it would suspend five routes this winter.
On its important route between Belfast and Heathrow its load factor was 79 percent last month, up a quarter on April last year. Flights to Malaga, Lanzarote and Paris routes are also proving popular. However, Ryanair, which flies from Belfast City Airport, claims that its services attracted 50% more passengers than Aer Lingus over the last 17 months. Ryanair says it did this while using one Belfast-based aircraft, compared to the three planes at Belfast International for Aer Lingus. Although Ryanair would be using planes based at other airports for some of its services.
