Lost Birmingham Airport route is reinstated with new EasyJet flights

The new route will take off in September, with flights starting from £27.99

A pulled Birmingham Airport route has been reinstated 'in direct response to customer's demands' after EasyJet announced new flights starting from September.

Brummies will once again be able to fly from BHX to Derry in Northern Ireland, with tickets now on sale from as little as £27.99 one way.

Famous for being the setting of the iconic series Derry Girls, the vibrant city is also home to Northern Ireland's only completely intact historic walled city.

It's also known for its thriving food scene, award-winning museums and for being the gateway to discover where the Wild Atlantic Way meets the Causeway Costal Route.

From September 1, 2025, twice weekly services will connect the two second cities, taking off on Mondays and Fridays.

Ali Gayward, EasyJet's UK country manager, said: "Our new domestic route from Birmingham to City of Derry further supports the demand we are seeing from both leisure and business customers in the Midlands.

"Having recently celebrated the first anniversary of our base at Birmingham Airport and growing presence in the UK's second city, we are excited to look ahead to this summer when we will welcome two additional aircraft along with new routes to Lanzarote, Bordeaux, Gibraltar, Gran Canaria and Malta.”

Tom Screen, aviation director of Birmingham Airport, said: "We welcome the announcement of EasyJet's new direct service to City of Derry from September 2025, which is in direct response to our customer's demands.

"The return of this route to Birmingham Airport will allow even more of our passengers to explore the historic city, whilst further bolstering our airport’s domestic connectivity for business."
