Aer Lingus earn 42% share of Belfast-Heathrow route

Aer Lingus says it is pleased at its 42% share on the Belfast to London Heathrow route.

Seven months after it began flying between the two cities, the airline says it is well on its way to taking half the market share from BMI.

Aer Lingus corporate affairs director, Enda Corneille, said the figures are excellent and it is well on schedule to achieving 700,000 bookings before its first anniversary on the route.
