                  ·       Belfast City-Manchester

                  ·       Gatwick-Guernsey

                  ·       Gatwick-Jersey

                  ·       Southampton-Edinburgh

                  ·       Belfast City-Gatwick

Chief commercial officer Mike Rutter said: “Easter is always a popular time for travellers and this year, due to the fantastic weather forecast across the UK, more people than ever are choosing to take to the skies and experience other areas of the UK over the long weekend. All of our top five Easter destinations are within the UK which is a great boost for UK travel.”
