BELFAST AIRPORT is the only airport in the UK and Ireland to be included in expansion plans announced by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, which will start a daily service to Amsterdam Schiphol in May.
The airport’s commercial and marketing director, Katy Best, said: ‘Attracting an airline such as KLM to Northern Ireland is a major win for the airport, tourism within the region and local businesses who will benefit from KLM’s worldwide network.
‘Schiphol is the lynchpin of the KLM network, and as one of the busiest airports in Europe serving over 300 destinations, it is an attractive superhub with quick and easy transfer facilities for passengers on popular routes such as Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, Moscow, Johannesburg and Bangkok.
Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland, said: ‘Today’s announcement by KLM is really good news for tourism, as we kick off our 2015 promotional drive. Not only will it help grow visitor numbers from the Netherlands, but this new flight will offer connectivity from other important tourism markets, including North America, Asia, and the Middle East.’
