Aer Lingus to add flights to Belfast-London route to 'reduce load'
Aer Lingus has agreed to put extra flights on its Belfast–London Heathrow service after images emerged of an almost full flight with no apparent evidence of social-distancing measures. The airline said Tuesday that it had conducted a review of its operation of the route, which identified several ways to reduce pressure on the route. These will include checking in increased numbers of bags, changes to the boarding procedure, and the cancellation of in-flight services. “In order to reduce the operational pressure involved in implementing these measures, Aer Lingus is putting on an additional flight frequency on each day of operation of the service. The two services will depart at 08.45 and 09.45 on each day of operation. It is expected that this additional frequency will result in reduced loads on each flight.”<br/>
