Aer Lingus unveils Belfast-Paris flights

Irish airline Aer Lingus has announced that it is to launch new flights from Belfast to Paris later this year.

The daily service will begin on March 30th and will fly to Paris's Charles de Gaulle Airport. As a result of the new flights, however, the carrier's route between Belfast and Amsterdam will see its flight frequency lowered to one flight a day instead of two.

Aer Lingus started flying from its new Belfast base last year, beginning with flights to destinations such as Barcelona and Geneva.

New routes to Rome, Budapest, Malaga, Faro and Nice will be launched by the airline over the next few months.

"Our market research has shown strong demand for Paris Charles de Gaulle, while Northern Ireland is increasingly popular with French visitors," commented Dermot Mannion, chief executive of Aer Lingus.

The carrier also operates flights between various points in the UK and Irish destinations such as Dublin and Cork.
