Ryanair is to pull out of Belfast City Airport in two months time.



The airline today announced that it will close its Belfast base at the end of the current summer schedule on October 31.



The decision means that five routes to London Stansted, Liverpool, East Midlands, Bristol and Glasgow Prestwick will be withdrawn.



Ryanair said it intends to relocate its one Belfast City based aircraft to another European airport with the loss of 50 Ryanair jobs and the loss of one million passengers annually.



It said the decision would also result in the loss of up to 1,000 support jobs in and around Belfast City Airport.



Ryanair said it made its decision after the airport confirmed that the public inquiry into a promised runway extension would be further delayed.



The public enquiry, which was launched after opposition from local residents, was suspended earlier this summer.



How long will they last at Larnaca??
