Outrage over Ryanair’s late night Belfast flights
23.10.08
Ryanair has advertised flights arriving in Belfast City Airport more than two hours after the 21:30 curfew, the Belfast Telegraph reports. Employment Minister Sir Reg Empey joined residents of east Belfast in blasting the budget airline for apparently ignoring the deadline for flights in and out of the airport, by putting seats for sale on a number of late-night flights. Ryanair said today it was a clerical error that has been rectified.
The airline had been taking bookings yesterday morning for one flight leaving for Prestwick Airport at 21:50 on May 13 next year, while another flight left Prestwick at 23:00 on May 15, touching down in Belfast at 23:55. Ryanair said the schedule has yet to be agreed and promised the eventual flight time would come within the curfew restrictions agreed between the airport and the Department of the Environment.
