While at Galway Airport, following on from the very recent announcement of a new service to Cork, Manx2.com, is launching a new air service between Galway and Belfast International Airport which will begin operations from Monday July 5th next.

At the launch in Galway City Museum, Noel Hayes, Chairman Manx2 said that "our one hour flights will mean that a business person can now get to Belfast and back the same day eliminating a five hour road or rail journey and giving invaluable encouragement for business and leisure travel between these great cities”

Éamonn Ó Cuív, the newly appointed Minister for Social Protection, who launched the new service to Belfast at Galway City Museum said “I am delighted to be associated with the launch of this new air link between Galway Airport and Belfast International as I believe this new link between the West of Ireland and the North of Ireland’s first city will really benefit the business community and increase the accessibility of the huge marketplace in the North and the fine cities of Belfast and Derry”.
