Ryanair, announced its Winter 2025 schedule for Belfast, with 13 routes, including winter sun hotspots Alicante, Faro, Lanzarote and Malaga and cool city break destinations Budapest, Gdansk, Kaunas and Krakow.
Ryanair’s Winter 2025 schedule will largely operate on the airline’s 2 Belfast-based Boeing 737-800 aircraft, representing a $200m investment, supporting over 1,000 local jobs, supporting driving year-round tourism to Northern Ireland.
Belfast International Airport’s CEO, Dan Owens said “Ryanair will offer local passengers greater choice and connectivity with fantastic routes on offer this winter. Today’s announcement that they will deliver 13 routes over the winter period is testament to their commitment to the local market. The winter season will see increased capacity on key domestic routes to Manchester, Edinburgh and London Stansted as well as more frequency to Alicante. We look forward to working with Ryanair to further grow their route network from Belfast and echo their call for the abolition of UK Air Passenger Duty which continues to hamper growth across the UK regions.”
Ryanair’s Director of Communications, Jade Kirwan, said “Ryanair is pleased to launch our Belfast Winter 2025 schedule, with 13 routes to popular winter getaway destinations, like Alicante, Budapest, Faro, Gdansk, Krakow, Lanzarote, and Malaga, giving our customers in Northern Ireland even more choice at the lowest fares. We wish to continue to deliver traffic and tourism growth across our 22 UK airports, particularly on our 340 new Boeing aircraft, which will deliver over the next 8 years. To do this however, the UK market must become competitive.”
