More importantly not a word on the EI website yet, poor show letting
a decision like this out into the public domain via leaks but I suppose
these things happen.
If the quote from the DUP politician is correct and the NI Executive
will help fund some of the routes then I would imagine that BHX would
have found it difficult to match such an offer.
It is an interesting decision as BFS have Easyjet and what was one
of their last moves at Belfast, to chop the Rome at the end of summer.
A core route, which they can't make pay all-year-round, I wonder if EI
will pick this one up.
