Easyjet has today launched the first direct service between Belfast and Reykjavik.
The flight operates twice a week on Mondays and Fridays on an A319 and is the only direct service between the two destinations.
Easyjet said it expects more than 30,000 passengers will use the new service during the first 12 months.
Easyjet’s head of Ireland, Ali Gayward, said: “This new year round service will bring the number of Easyjet flights to Iceland up to 26 a week and we will carry in excess of 200,000 passengers per year to and from Reykjavik across all of these flights.
“It is a particularly exciting addition to our base at Belfast International due to the eclectic mix of activities and scenery on offer and we are confident that it will provide a popular addition to Easyjet’s network,” she added.
The new service is Easyjet’s seventh direct flight to Reykjavik.
