Loganair has announced it will once again provide Christmas flights connecting the Isle of Man and Belfast City, following the popularity of last year's seasonal service.
The UK regional carrier will operate three return journeys on December 20, December 27 and January 3.
The airline will deploy its 72-seat ATR 72-600 aircraft for these festive services, which are designed to help passengers reunite with loved ones during the holiday period.
Tickets are already available for purchase, with the airline responding to continued demand for connectivity between the two destinations during one of the year's busiest travel periods.
