Manx2 strengthens links between Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man

From this month flights will leave Belfast International Airport at 8.30am every weekday and return from Ronaldsway Airport in the Isle of Man at 5.45pm every evening. Additional flights will operate on Monday, Friday and Sundays and for this summer Manx2.com will also be launching a Saturday service on the route.

Fares start from just £29.95 and in February every passenger travelling to Belfast International will enjoy complimentary access to the fantastic Rendezvous lounge at Ronaldsway, where a great range of free drinks and snacks will be on offer in comfortable surroundings.

Chairman Noel Hayes said: "This new visitor-friendly timetable has been designed to encourage better links between Belfast and the Isle of Man and to encourage more people to travel. These new flight times are ideal for both the business and leisure traveller.

"We are committed to the success of this route and to support this, we now have an aircraft and crew based at Belfast International.

"As Chairman, I take a personal interest in every aspect of my company's service. With Manx2 you will enjoy a personal service right from the start as we pride ourselves on our customer service and the product we offer. We hope all elements of our service and offering contribute to giving our passengers a wonderful experience on Manx2 and in turn see them fly with us again."

Uel Hoey, Belfast International Airport's Business Development Director, said: "We are pleased to welcome Manx2's initiative in basing an aircraft at Belfast International Airport. Not only will this development deliver very attractive business-focussed timings on the BFS - IOM route, it will also offer Manx2 the opportunity to evaluate new routes from Northern Ireland which would only be viable for their aircraft. We look forward to exploring these opportunities with them."
