An airline is to double its number of weekly flights from East Midlands Airport to a European capital city from next month.

Aer Lingus Regional has confirmed plans to implement a daily service between East Midlands Airport and Belfast from October.

This will see the number of weekly flights to the Northern Ireland capital increasing from three to seven.

The increased frequency coincides with the Aer Lingus end of summer sale, which runs until September 16, offering discounts of up to 30% between October 2025 and March 2026.

Flights between East Midlands Airport and Belfast will be operated by Aer Lingus’ regional partner, Emerald Airlines.
