EasyJet to start Belfast-Malta service
Low-cost airline easyJet is to introduce flights from Belfast, Northern Ireland, to Malta from February 11.
Flights will be operated to and from Belfast International Airport on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK commercial manager, said: "We are delighted to be able to add this exciting new destination to the already attractive range of flights we offer.
"Malta is often described as an 'open-air museum' and has a rich history that is evident in its stunning architecture.
"The island is famous for it clear blue waters and, for today's visitors, there is the obvious appeal of dry, warm summers.
"Malta is a very welcome addition to easyJet's existing hotspot destinations like Alicante, Faro, Ibiza, Malaga and Palma."

What a great news story for Ireland/Malta, this service will be well supported by the travellers of both Northern and Southern Ireland and by two Nations with similar warm and welcoming natures. I have no doubt that Easyjet will once again introduce a fair price structure to encourage those wishing to use the service, my wife and I are in Malta at this time and have travelled Belfast/Liverpool/Malta with Easyjet, and as ever we have nothing but praise for the service they provide, as property owners here for 22 years we will promote the new service at every opportunity and wish Easyjet every success in the future.

Well done to all concerned
win all to both the local and the NI tourism boards....
airports at the north only service towards the spanish isles....
other niches the like of NW of Ireland - Donegal Airport and
the Derry airport aught to be tapped and sevices either by easyjet and/or Ryanair too....

This is good news for Belfast,that easy jet is flying from there to Malta .But what about Glasgow,I have been coming to Malta for twelve years now .we have brought over many friends over the who all love Malta as much as we do.During the last few years i feel Scotland has not been treated fairly by any of the airlines especialy our favourite Air Malta.Who have now pulled out of Glasgow so we had to fly from Manchester this year which was not a great expeirience due to a four hour drive there and back after a tthree and a half hour flight.So please would AIR MALTA review its policy and start flying direct from Glasgow again.
