RYANAIR has added Faro to its destinations from Belfast next summer.
The new twice-weekly service brings the total number of routes served by the airline from Belfast International Airport to 12.
The Faro service will operate from June to August.
Robin Kiely from the airline said: “We are pleased to add this new twice weekly route to Faro to our Belfast summer 2017 schedule, which includes 11 new summer routes and our four-times daily service to London Gatwick, and will deliver 10 per cent growth to over 1.1m customers a year and support over 800 jobs at Belfast Airport.
"To celebrate the addition of a Faro route to our Belfast summer 2017 schedule we are releasing 100,000 seats for sale from just £19.99, which are available for booking until Tuesday."
Ryanair made a return to Belfast earlier this year having previously operated from George Best Belfast City Airport until 2010.
The airline has said it has big plans for Belfast with a target of as many as 40 routes from Aldergrove.
But it has said such figures could only be achieved if the government moves to scrap air passenger duty (APD).
