A new regional air link is to be provided between Belfast City airport and Newcastle.
Daily weekday flights are to be run by Eastern Airways from September 1.
Fares start at £59 one-way, including taxes and charges.
Eastern Airways started its first scheduled service from Belfast City earlier this year by securing the future of flights to the Isle of Man following the liquidation of Citywing.
The new route announcement comes a month after Eastern Airways entered into a partnership with Belfast City’s largest carrier Flybe via a franchise agreement starting on October 29.
Eastern Airways head of commercial Mathew Herzberg said: “This new non-stop service from Belfast City Airport is not only providing a convenient link to the busy commercial centre of Newcastle, but it’s also the gateway to the rest of the north east of England including Northumberland, Sunderland and Teesside.
“Our partnership with Flybe from the end of October will also offer greater connectivity on our Belfast City services from the Isle of Man and Newcastle.”
Belfast City commercial and marketing director Katy Best, added: “Newcastle has always been a very popular destination for passengers and it is fantastic to once again be able to offer this route from Belfast City Airport.
“Eastern Airways has made a hugely positive impact on the Northern Ireland market since entering in March with its Isle of Man service, and we are delighted that the airline has recognised the market’s potential through the introduction of this flight to Newcastle.
“This announcement comes during what is an exciting period for Belfast City Airport and we are confident of continuing to grow our UK and European route network further in the future.”
