Aer Lingus is suspending its route from Belfast City to London Heathrow at the end of October.
The Independent reports that the Irish carrier does not hold the right to operate domestic flights in the UK and that it had been operating under a temporary licence, which has now ended.
The last service will take place on October 30, with sister carrier British Airways set to operate three daily flights from Belfast City to Heathrow thereafter.
A spokesperson from Aer Lingus provided Business Traveller with the following statement:
“Aer Lingus is very keen to continue operating the Belfast City – Heathrow London service, which we have been operating since 2007.
“We are engaging with the relevant authorities in order to allow us to continue to serve this route into the future.
“For the upcoming winter season, we will be working with our sister airline, British Airways, to ensure there is continuity of service and no impact to any of our passengers’ journeys.”
