IT will be the end of an era this weekend when the curtain comes down on the Aldergrove-Heathrow route.

Bmi british midland is centralising all its operations from Belfast International to the City Airport as of Monday.

The final flight will be the BD77, which departs from Aldergrove at 6.40pm on Sunday evening.

There has been an Aldergrove-Heathrow link since Aldergrove opened in 1963, and before then the service was based at the old Nutts Corner airport.

The route was originally operated by British European Airways and subsequently British Airways, but the BA Belfast Shuttle was axed in October 2001.
