Popular passenger transport company Aircoach has unveiled a state-of-the-art fleet of ten new coaches for passengers travelling to both Belfast International and Dublin airports from Derry and between Belfast, Dublin Airport and Dublin City Centre.

An investment of £3 million in the new fleet comes as the approaching summer season will see thousands of visitors travel between North and South and to Ireland’s two main airports on the company’s 705X service.

The new luxury coaches will bring a number of improved features and upgrades, including:

  • Onboard Toilets: A standout feature and ultimate convenience for passengers on long journeys.
  • Reclining Seats: Providing extra comfort for a restful journey
  • High Speed Wifi: Ensuing passengers stay connected
  • Brand-New Coaches: Brand new and state-of-the-art vehicles equipped for best performance and passenger comfort.

The new fleet will provide seamless transportation options for commuters, students, holiday-makers and visitors, offering an efficient and reliable service from the North West region to Belfast International Airport, Dublin Airport and Dublin City Centre, including direct routes from Belfast to Dublin Airport and City Centre (O’Connell Street).

In addition to the new fleet, Aircoach is introducing a new Young Person Fare offering even greater value on this popular route. Families can enjoy a 10% discount, with significant savings also available for group bookings.

All ticket options and best fares are available online at aircoach.ie.

Kim Swan, Managing Director of Aircoach said: "We are thrilled to launch these new passenger coaches, designed to meet the evolving needs of our customers.

“As the holiday season approaches and people begin to make travel plans, we are excited to introduce this state-of-the-art new fleet where comfort and convenience go hand in hand.

“The investment reflects our commitment to delivering the best travel experience possible for our customers and in particular for those travellers making longer journeys.”

The new fleet comes into operation today (June 3).

Regular departures and competitive ticket pricing cater to all travel needs. A full timetable and booking options can be found at aircoach.ie.
