EasyJet plans Belfast Aberdeen winter route
easyJet is launching a new twice-weekly Belfast International to Aberdeen route starting 4 January 2027, expanding direct connectivity between Northern Ireland and Scotland. Fares are advertised from around £18.99, with easyJet Holidays offering package deals that include flights and hotel for a £60 deposit. The move is framed as strengthening domestic links and giving travellers greater choice for business and leisure between two iconic maritime cities. The airline and Belfast International Airport highlight expected investment, job creation, and improved passenger facilities as part of a broader winter network expansion that also includes new Bristol–Strasbourg and London Luton–Pristina services. Packages are available for travel to both Aberdeen and Belfast, reinforcing the appeal of Scotland as a winter destination and supporting tourist mobility. This push follows easyJet’s broader strategy to grow routes from UK airports and deepen its domestic offering.
