16 Feb 2011
EasyJet this week introduced a new route linking Belfast International airport to Malta.
The launch brings the total number of services provided by the airline from Northern Ireland to 20.
A total of 156 passengers were carried on the inaugural flight yesterday (15 February), which was the first of two weekly services scheduled to depart on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Joseph Zammit Tabona, Malta's high commissioner to the UK, described easyJet as a 'key partner' for the island and said that connections between Britain and Malta have 'never been this good'.
'Through the addition of the twice-weekly route from Belfast, the people of Northern Ireland can now easily access Malta and all that it has to offer,' he added.
Paul Simmons, easyJet's regional general manager, said: 'Malta has a rich history that is evident in its stunning architecture. For today's visitors, there is also the obvious attraction of clear blue waters and dry, warm summers.'
Other destinations served by the airline from Belfast include Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam and Krakow.
