“Ryanair is a hugely valued partner for Belfast International Airport, delivering over 1000 jobs locally and $200m for the local economy, as well as offering choice and connectivity for the people of Northern Ireland and beyond. Ryanair is to be congratulated on serving over 7 million passengers for Northern Ireland since 2016."
The wider Belfast operation also gives local travellers a broader choice of direct departures without routing through Dublin or another UK airport. Ryanair keeps two aircraft based at Belfast International, helping support the current 166-flight weekly schedule, while the airport is carrying out a £100 million upgrade. The work is intended to improve the terminal experience as passenger numbers and route demand continue to grow.
The current network covers both beach holidays and city breaks. Alicante, Lanzarote and Malta suit travellers looking for sun, while Kraków, Milan and Porto offer culture, food and short weekend itineraries. The mix also gives passengers more flexibility when comparing trip length, departure dates and destination type, rather than limiting the summer schedule to one kind of holiday.
The sale is most useful for people who already know when and where they can travel. The advertised fare is only the starting price, so baggage, seat selection and airport transport can change the final cost quickly. Anyone considering a late booking should compare the complete return price and check the flight times before paying, rather than choosing a destination simply because the headline fare looks low.
