Startup Fly Atlantic plans US flights

Sunday, 23 Nov, 2022 0

New airline Fly Atlantic plans to launch transatlantic flights at Belfast International Airport.

The startup wants to fly to the US and Canada, as well as short haul European destinations from summer 2024.

It still has to gain a licence and secure aircraft.

It plans to generate 1,000 jobs over the first five years.

Fly Atlantic aims to make Belfast a new hub linking Europe with North America.

It would initially operate six aircraft under current plans.

Chief executive Andrew Pyne said: “The lack of direct transatlantic air services has clearly been an impediment to Northern Ireland.”

“We already have offices at the airport and will now be building out the infrastructure.”
