Have you ever visited the Capital of Northern Ireland? Did you know that the RMS Titanic was built in Belfast? The second largest city in Ireland located at the mouth of the Lagan River, has its own seaport and two airports. The smaller one – George Best City Airport – is situated east of Belfast, the bigger one, International Airport, to which flights from Salzburg will operate in winter, about 24 kilometers west of the Capital of Northern Ireland.

 
Please note the time difference! The pure flight time is 2.5 hours.

“It is fantastic that easyJet is going to offer flights from Salzburg to Belfast starting December 13th and I hope for numerous passengers on this route”, says Bettina Ganghofer, CEO of Salzburg Airport.

Flights are already on sale. The route will be operated every Thursday and Sunday with an Airbus A320. Beside Salzburg the connection to Belfast will also be offered from Prague and Fuerteventura.

“As a reliable airline-partner, easyJet has transported about 830.000 passengers to and from Salzburg. Belfast is a lively and vibrant city and I expect that this route will not only attract winter sports guests, but also passengers from Salzburg and neighboring Bavaria”, says Christopher Losmann, Senior Vice President Aviation & Sales Salzburg Airport.

Salzburg Airport can look back on years of cooperation with easyJet, which carries about 82 million passengers a year and flies 298 aircrafts on more than 980 routes to 156 airports across 33 countries.
