Air Berlin Takes Off for European Expansion

Air Berlin will start flying from Belfast City Airport to eight destinations in Europe via its hub in London Stansted. There will be departures morning and evening each way during the week, and one flight each way on Saturday and Sunday.

With fast trains from Stansted to Liverpool Street station in London´s financial district, and Air Berlin´s superfast transfer system including full baggage transfer at London Stansted, the airline is targeting both business customers going to the City and holidaymakers transferring onto Europe, as well as the typical low-cost customer who appreciates Air Berlin´s superior customer service.

This move will open up Air Berlin´s on-bound Europe-wide destinations from Stansted for the first time to passengers from Northern Ireland. These include Berlin, Dusseldorf, Hanover, Leipzig, Nuremberg, Paderborn and Vienna. The service is also likely to make a positive contribution to the tourism industry in Northern Ireland.
