Ulster Unionist MEP Jim Nicholson has welcomed the announcement that a new flight between Belfast and Brussels will begin next March.
Jim Nicholson MEP said:
“The news that Brussels Airlines will operate a new service between George Best Belfast City Airport and Brussels from next March is a very welcome development.
“Brussels is a key European city at the centre of EU decision making and it has been several years since this important route has been available from a Northern Ireland airport. This service should benefit Northern Ireland on a number of levels by improving how local businesses and stakeholders engage with decision makers at the European level.
“Our tourism sector is also likely to benefit from having this direct link with Brussels and I hope Northern Ireland makes the most of these potential opportunities.”
