On Monday, easyJet commenced a new route from City of Derry Airport to Birmingham Route. The service will operate twice a week on Monday’s and Friday’s using an Airbus A320. The inaugural service was operated by G-EZRT. Ryanair had operated the route in 2024 until early 2025 but suspended the service at the end of the winter season due to operational reasons.
Steve Frazer, Managing Director at City of Derry Airport, stated: “We are thrilled to strengthen our airline partnership with easyJet and grow their operations across the Northwest, these additional flights will make easyJet the largest carrier at City of Derry Airport after less than a year since their inaugural Edinburgh and Liverpool flights.
“The Birmingham route has been in high demand for travellers in this region who have family and friends in the Midlands, those who regularly commute throughout the year, and from the thriving student population. With the easyJet service operating on a Monday and Friday, it is also ideal for business passengers flying out on a Monday and returning home for the weekend, and of course for leisure travellers seeking a fun-filled (and budget-friendly!) weekend break as Birmingham has an abundance of experiences for families, couples and groups to soak up.”
