The holiday airline TUI is launching new flights to Cyprus and Tunisia from Belfast International Airport next year.

The travel company said the direct flights to Cyprus will start from May 16 2024, running weekly until September 12 2024.

The Tunisia flights launch each Sunday from May 26 2024 until September 29 2024.

TUI is also planning to double its capacity of flights available from Belfast International to the Spanish destinations of Costa Dorada and Lanzarote from next year.

Craig Morgan, head of Ireland for TUI, said: “We are thrilled to see the welcome return of Larnaca, Cyprus which is among one of our most requested destinations and the popular destination of Tunisia. 

“We want every one of our customers to be able to create a holiday as unique as they are.

"These changes provide our customers with greater choice for the destination and duration of their holiday and when that’s coupled with the variety and choice of TUI hotels from premium, tailor made and all-inclusive to party resorts and family fun – we have brought everything together to help our customers create the perfect TUI holiday.”
