Flybe has announced four Scottish routes will be affected by reduced flights from Belfast City Airport due to aircraft supply issues.
Aberdeen and Inverness flights are to be dropped altogether, along with Newcastle, company bosses have announced. There will also be reduced service on the routes to Edinburgh as well as Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and Southampton.
Airline CEO Dave Pflieger said the decision had "not been taken lightly" but was down to logistical issues with sourcing the extra aircraft needed to run those routes, reports Belfast Live.
Mr Pflieger added: "The two aircraft leasing companies who were contracted to provide our additional airplanes have now told us that they will be unable to fulfil their commitments until after the summer," he said. "We were able to find and rent aircraft from two separate airlines in Greece and Spain, but those planes are not enough, and the lack of additional aircraft needed for new flying means we need to adjust our future flight schedule. "As a result, today we are reducing our planned increase in flying for the period of 28 July until 29 October.
