easyJet Becomes the Only Carrier Connecting Birmingham and City of Derry with a New Route

easyJet has announced a new direct service from Birmingham to City of Derry Airport, becoming the only carrier operating the route.

From 1 September 2025, the new service will depart twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, perfect for staycation, visiting friends and family, or travelling for business.

City of Derry airport which lies on the west bank of the River Foyle is home to Northern Ireland's only completely intact historic Walled City.

It offers a vibrant food scene, and award-winning museums aplenty as well as a great gateway to discover where the Wild Atlantic Way meets the Causeway Coastal Route, not to mention the setting of iconic series Derry Girls.

Seats are now on sale at easyJet.com and via the app from £27.99*.

Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK Country Manager, commented:

“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.”
