Northern Ireland is to gain a summer air link to Croatia with weekly EasyJet flights to Split.
The service will be the airline’s 26th route from Belfast International airport and will operate during the summer season from May 20.
The airline expects to carry around 6,000 passengers on the new route in the first summer of operation. Fares start at £26.99 per person one way.
EasyJet announced a route to Reykjavik from Belfast earlier in the year with flights starting on December 12.
Belfast international airport business development director, Uel Hoey, said: “Traditionally Croatian destinations have been extremely popular with Northern Ireland travellers and are now witnessing a significant renaissance in demand.
“Split is a beautiful destination combining landscape, activities, history and religious interest. Moreover, as with the launch of Reykjavik, easyJet’s service from Belfast to Split will be the only regular direct air link available to this fantastic destination from the island of Ireland.”
