Ryanair is pulling out of Belfast City Airport

Low cost airline Ryanair is pulling the plug on Belfast. Ryanair is a great way for students to travel to and from Northern Ireland. Ryanair and Uni Baggage offer a cost effective way for students to travel to and from University and it is sad to see that Ryanair are leaving Belfast.

Ryanair is pulling out of Belfast City Airport from 31 October, the airline has announced.

The airline said the decision followed the airport’s confirmation that a public inquiry into a planned runway extension would be further delayed.

Ryanair has been operating from George Best Belfast City Airport since 2007.

The airline currently flies from the City Airport to five locations in the UK – Bristol, the East Midlands, Prestwick, Liverpool and London.

The airline flies about 800,000 passengers a year from the airport.

Ryanair’s Chief Executive Michael O’Leary said that “it is very disappointing that the promised runway extension at Belfast City Airport has still not materialised more than three years after we opened the base at Belfast City”.

Uni Baggage still operates its great service to and from any location in the UK. Book you collection today!
