Ireland that will provide the only route from the region to Germany is a major win for, not only the airport, but the wider tourism and business industry. “With Germany being the third-largest market for overseas tourism to the island of Ireland, there is a clear demand for direct connectivity.” Katy added: “Frankfurt is an important city for commerce, culture, and tourism, and its airport is one of the busiest in Europe. “As a base for Lufthansa, Frankfurt is a key destination in its network and gives passengers an attractive option for connecting flights to markets further afield. “Lufthansa’s commitment to excellent customer service and great value makes it a superb fit for Belfast City Airport, and we look forward to welcoming passengers travelling to Frankfurt and beyond to the terminal.” Dr Frank Wagner, General Manager Sales,
UK, Ireland and Iceland for Lufthansa Group, previously said: “We are excited to announce the addition of Belfast City Airport to Lufthansa’s global network with the inaugural flight to Frankfurt on 23 rd April 2023. “This new nonstop connection will bring
Northern Ireland much closer to Frankfurt and to the heart of Western Europe. Connecting passengers will enjoy a convenient and full service connection beyond our hub to our vast network of over 200 destinations in summer 2023.” READ NEXT: Sun destinations you can fly to from Belfast as new routes announced The hand luggage rules for airlines which fly out of Belfast Ryanair announce new Italian flight route from Belfast TUI announce new holiday destination route from Belfast next summer For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage here.
