The new twice-weekly service took off today and will operate every Monday and Friday, perfect for a long weekend getaway.
easyJet is now the largest carrier and the only airline offering a direct connection between City of Derry and Birmingham, providing customers in Northern Ireland even more convenient access to key cities across the UK.
Birmingham is much more than the setting of the hit TV series Peaky Blinders; it’s a vibrant city featuring a blend of historic and cultural landmarks, a bustling music and shopping scene, and is home to the famous Cadbury World—perfect for chocolate lovers.
Great value seats are available to book from £14.99* at easyJet.com and via the mobile app.
Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said:
“We are thrilled to celebrate the launch of our new service from City of Derry Airport to Birmingham today, providing even more choice for our business and leisure customers alike.
“We are proud to be the largest airline in Northern Ireland, offering great value fares and convenient connections for our customers looking to explore the fantastic experiences the Midlands has to offer.”
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."
Mr. Frazer added: "Passengers travelling to Birmingham can enjoy the ease and convenience of flying local from City of Derry Airport, as well as cost-savings on airport parking, fast-track and lounge access, and customer service excellence from our award-winning team."
This new route is the third service easyJet has added to its City of Derry network in the last 12 months, following new flights to Edinburgh and Liverpool, further strengthening domestic connectivity between Northern Ireland and key UK cities.
