The airline Flybe is starting a new service from Belfast to London today.

There will be three flights daily from Belfast City to London City Airport.

The airline says it is part of an expansion that will link the UK regions to the heart of London's financial district.

Flybe is also introducing four flights a day from Dublin to London City. Earlier this year, Flybe's direct flights from Belfast City to London Gatwick were dropped.

It followed the Exeter-based company's decision to sell its runway slots at Gatwick airport to Easyjet.
