The short version

EasyJet’s new Belfast International Airport route to Rome began on Friday, October 23, 2026; flights are scheduled for Mondays and Fridays. ¹
The new route to Sharm El Sheikh was due to begin on Sunday, October 25, with flights scheduled twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays. ¹
EasyJet is identified as Northern Ireland’s largest airline, and most flights from Belfast International are operated by easyJet, according to the airport overview. ¹³
EasyJet holidays offers package holidays to both destinations, but the available report does not give complete booking terms or current prices. ¹

What new easyJet routes are flying from Belfast?

EasyJet has announced two new routes from Belfast International Airport: Rome, in Italy, and Sharm El Sheikh, in Egypt. The Rome service began on Friday, October 23, 2026. Sharm El Sheikh flights were due to start on Sunday, October 25. ¹

Belfast International is the main airport serving Belfast, and the airport overview says easyJet operates the majority of its flights. ³ The new routes therefore add to an airport where easyJet already has a substantial presence, though the available sources do not list all of its Belfast destinations.

Which days do the Belfast flights operate?

The reported Rome timetable is Mondays and Fridays. Sharm El Sheikh is scheduled for Wednesdays and Sundays, twice a week. ¹

Those are the days given in the route announcement, not a guarantee that every flight will operate as scheduled. Check easyJet’s current booking information for your dates before making plans, especially if your trip depends on a particular return day.

Rome: Mondays and Fridays. ¹
Sharm El Sheikh: Wednesdays and Sundays. ¹

What should travelers check before booking?

The route announcement gives operating days but not full timetable details, flight times, return-flight options or fare conditions. Confirm the exact dates and times with easyJet before booking other parts of a trip.

Check what your ticket includes and the rules for changes, baggage and extras. If you are considering a package holiday rather than booking flights alone, review its dates, inclusions and terms. The report confirms that easyJet holidays offers packages to both destinations, but does not set out their full conditions. ¹

Can you book a holiday package to either destination?

Yes. The report says easyJet holidays offers package holidays to Rome and Sharm El Sheikh. It also mentions three-night Rome city breaks from £180 per person, but the available report excerpt does not establish the offer’s dates, availability, inclusions or conditions. ¹

Treat that amount as a reported starting price, not a guaranteed price for your chosen dates. Check the current package listing and its terms before relying on it.

What is still unclear about the new routes?

The available announcement does not provide flight times, the full range of fares, how long either route will operate, or details of every package option. It also does not explain whether the scheduled days may vary by season. ¹

The airport overview describes Belfast International’s wider role and notes that it handled more than 6.7 million passengers in 2024, but it does not supply current details about these specific routes. ³ For practical decisions, check easyJet’s current booking information for dates, availability and conditions.
