George Best Belfast City Airport hopes to replace BMI Baby

[mhm]

George Best Belfast City Airport's chief executive has said he is hopeful that by next week another airline will take the place of BMI Baby, which stops flying from the airport in June.

The news has affected thousands of passengers' summer holiday plans.

Brian Ambrose said he had suspected the firm might pull out of Belfast once its summer schedule had ended, but the announcement was surprising.

He said the airport would announce next Friday if a replacement had been found.
