Belfast City Airport’s new route to Dundee gets lift-off with Loganair

The service will initially consist of twice-weekly flights departing at 13.15 from Dundee Airport Fridays and Sundays, with a 15.00 return each day.

This will increase to four flights per week within the airline’s summer 2021 schedule commencing on 29th March.

Katy Best, Commercial Director at Belfast City Airport, said: “Dundee is now the fourth Scottish route to be added to our network by Loganair. This is in addition to Aberdeen, Glasgow and Inverness, all of which are already operational.

“The University of Dundee remains a popular choice for students from Northern Ireland and with famous Open Championship golf courses at each site of the route, this will be a convenient route for many.

“We have a very long history with Loganair and are very pleased to see the airline with an enhanced presence at Belfast City Airport.”

Loganair is now one of the largest airlines at Belfast City, from where it flew the very first passenger flight on February 7 1983 on the day of the airport’s official opening.

Loganair’s chief executive Jonathan Hinkles said: “I’m delighted that we’ve been able to restore the popular link between Belfast City and Dundee.

“I am confident it will be welcome news for those visiting friends and family, students, those looking for a short break away and for those in the construction and offshore industries.

Both Belfast City Airport and Dundee Airport follow all relevant Covid-19 directives.
