Manx2.com is strengthening the link between Blackpool and Belfast City by commencing a twice daily commuter service on 6 July.
Two return flights will operate six days per week (excluding Sundays), between the UK northwest and Northern Ireland. The first flight will depart Blackpool International at 0810, and with a short 15 minute stopover in the Isle of Man (passengers will not have to leave the aircraft during this time), and arrive in Belfast City at 0940. The second flight departs Blackpool at 1550 and arrives in Belfast at 1720.
In addition, due to growing passenger numbers on the route, Manx2.com is rescheduling the times of its Blackpool to Isle of Man service, operating up to four return flights per day including a later 1925 flight to cater for commuters.
Manx2.com’s chairman Noel Hayes commented, “For some time now, I have been receiving comments from business contacts in both Blackpool and Belfast saying that it would be fantastic if we were able to offer a daily shuttle service to cater for business travellers and so we are responding to demand with our new commuter service.
“Travel is a necessity; Manx2.com’s low prices make it affordable for everyone and the frequency gives travellers a wide choice of times. I anticipate these routes to be incredibly popular.”
