Belfast City Airport Confident of filling Ryanair Void
Katy Best, Business Development Director at George Best Belfast City Airport said:
“We are obviously disappointed at Ryanair’s decision; the airline had provided five successful routes from Belfast City Airport.
“However, passenger figures had proved that there was significant demand for the routes operated by Ryanair and I am confident that we can attract other airlines to fill the void.
“Recent significant and continuing private investment by the airport’s owner has made Belfast City Airport an attractive proposition for passengers and airlines alike.
“Ryanair’s announcement will not divert us in pursuing the continued development of the airport. Our goal still remains to attract new airlines and new destinations to and from Belfast City Airport resulting in a much needed economic boost for the region.”
Ryanair will cease services from Belfast City Airport on 31 October 2010, passengers are advised to check with Ryanair for bookings made after the date.
