Aer Lingus is to move its Northern Ireland flight operation from Belfast International Airport to Belfast City Airport.

From the 28 October all flights will be out of the George Best City Airport including a new route to London Gatwick.

Summer flights will start in March 2013 to Malaga and Faro and in addition to the 3 flights daily to London Heathrow and Gatwick..

The move follows the 100million investment Aer Lingus made 5 years ago in Northern Ireland.

Christoph Mueller, CEO of Aer Lingus says jobs are secure in the move and they have plans for new routes in the future.
