Belfast Bound For Christmas!

Good news for those hoping to dash through the sky and over the Irish Sea this festive season – Loganair has swooped in to save the day!

After other airlines dropped out, leaving the Isle of Man-Belfast City route looking as deserted as your Christmas leftovers, Loganair is stepping up with four festive flights to help reconnect Manxies with loved ones.

The airline will be running round trips on Saturday, December 21 and December 28, as well as Tuesday, December 31 and Thursday, January 2.

Perfect for those looking to reunite in time for some Christmas turkey.

The flights will whisk you from Ronaldsway to Belfast in a brisk 35 minutes.

You’ll be flying in style on a 72-seater ATR-72, with tickets starting at £64.99 one-way, luggage included – because who wants to leave their presents behind?

Loganair also flies from Ronaldsway Airport to destinations across the UK including Heathrow, Manchester, London City, Liverpool and Birmingham.

Chief commercial director Luke Lovegrove said: ‘It is incredibly important to us that we are able to keep passengers connected, especially over the festive period and we’re proud that we are able to step in and reinstate a service that is relied on heavily over the holidays.

‘We look forward to welcoming passengers on board as we fly them home for Christmas.’

Geoff Pugh, interim airport director Isle of Man Airport, welcomed the latest news.

He said: ‘It’s great to hear Loganair is providing this essential route over the Christmas season, helping to bring families and friends together for the holidays. We encourage people to take advantage of this service.’
