EASYJET has celebrated the significant milestone of 500,000 passengers - just two years after commencing operations from Belfast City Airport.

She was greeted to a performance from the Rock Choir when she arrived on a flight from London Gatwick, and was presented with a bouquet of flowers.
Rock Choir is the UK’s leading contemporary award-winning choir experience offering local weekly rehearsals, performances and life-affirming events to more than 400 towns and communities.
