June stats are out. LDY-STN carried 4200 at 37.5/flight or a LF of 76.5%. This has to be one of the best LFs that BMIR have. I wonder how it will be before they add a third rotation. Despite the crying on that bastion of culture The Mark Patterson Show about prices, people are clearly using it.
BFS_Voyeur. Yet another wonderfully pointless post from you. Your airport is doing well. Why the bitterness towards BHD and LDY? The cost of the clean-up of the recent cultural festivities in our wee country would subsidise LDY for years.
As for not getting a seat on Airporter, you are, as always talking sh!te. Have a wee look and do a dummy booking (should be easy, and apt) for a week today. You'll see there are an awful lot of seats available.
Now. See if you can be a good boy and not post a negative comment on the BHD or LDY threads for a whole week. You'll feel better for it.

A 42% reduction maybe, but if the 4,200 contains a lot of business traffic making use of double the frequency and day return options it's of greater use to the local economy than a load of people going to see the family for £30.

Would be great if CODA could get the likes of Stobart to do once daily to a London airport for the regular punter, with the business users still benefiting from the twice daily BMI flights.
Another cancelled BMIR return trip to Stansted this evening. I assume a lot of the PSO money they're getting is paying for hotels and transfers for the passengers affected. I wonder what the excuse is this time? Shambles.

Yeah bizarre one that. I'm 15 miles down the road and hearing all about the flooding in the Derry area. Bone dry here right now, not a single area flooded.
Wonder what caused all the flooding up there? It's very localised.

I don't need to read the news to see where the flooding is. I'm more amazed by the Limavady weathershield. Both Derry and International airports reported thunderstorms for several hours last night, yet Limavady, in the middle, missed it. Amazing stuff.

Um, I didn't say we missed the rain. It rained here for several hours.
It just didn't flood. As I said I was surprised when I woke up to find that Eglinton airport flooded, and wondered how that could happen? Can't remember the last time that ever happened.

No doubt you'll be giving us lessons in column shear, CAPE and vorticity next. Last night's storms were not localised as they were not airmass convection. They were on a squall line attached to a cold front. Have a look at Barra Best's twitter account for a look at how utterly not localised they were.
