Belfast City Airport announced new service has commenced to Frankfurt, Germany via Lufthansa airline.
Lufthansa’s new flights mark the first time the German flag carrier has operated in Northern Ireland.
The service, which is the only direct air link between Northern Ireland and Germany, will operate up to four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
As its base and a major European hub, Frankfurt is a key destination in Lufthansa’s extensive portfolio of destinations. This summer it will connect to a network of over 200 destinations from its Frankfurt hub.
In addition to supporting tourism growth in the region, the new route will provide vital business links with exports from Northern Ireland to Germany already exceeding £333 million between July 2021 and July 2022.
Flights to Frankfurt will be operated by an Embraer E-190 aircraft offering both Economy and Business class services.
