Commenting on the announcement, Ciarán Smith, Head of Commercial at Emerald Airlines said: “We are pleased to be adding a new link between the Isle of Man and Belfast - which we expect will be received with open arms! In line with the rising customer demand, we will now be boosting our frequency on the popular Dublin service, effective from late March. We look forward to continuing to grow our services, offering convenient and cost-effective flights between the Isle of Man and Ireland.”

In addition to providing connectivity between the Isle of Man and Ireland, Aer Lingus Regional services are enabling seamless connections on the wider Aer Lingus transatlantic network to North America via Dublin.

Gary Cobb, Airport Director at Isle of Man Airport said, ‘The return of the Belfast City route is fantastic news, as well as the increase in the number of flights to Dublin. We know greater connectivity with Ireland has been requested for some time, so I am sure both routes will provide exciting travel options for Isle of Man residents as well as people wishing to visit Manx shores.’
