I heard a 4th aircraft could be added with new routes and increased on other routes!

I see Antalya is back on the drop down menu for ThomasCook. Is it returning?

Never went of the drop down list unfortunately so likely won't return.

4th Aircraft more less confirmed for 2016 for Jet2.

In total, more than a quarter of a million Jet2.com seats will be available for Northern Ireland passengers this year with more than 70 services per week operating to the 18 destinations. And, there are suggestions that a fourth aircraft is already being tentatively lined up to operate from Belfast in summer 2016.

More or less confirmed!!!!!
Speculation on routes?

[GAZMO]

Just looking at the jet2 flights for next summer 16 and appears that they are extending the season on some routes, Zante, Pisa, Ibiza
Looks like ZTH 5 extra flights PSA 3 extra and IBZ 4 extra

Any idea if Turkish Airways is still coming next year to BFS? Haven't heard anything for a few months now!

[El Bunto]

Well Turkish went to double-daily into Dublin as of last month, which in conjunction with the deafening silence re: Belfast suggests to me that NI has been canned.

What if anything is left....Qatar?

Major Fire in the Terminal 3 at Rome Fiumicino Airport last night:

A bit off Jet2 leaving their Belfast passengers stranded in Rome for 3 days and not offering any compensation.

[Stick Flying]

Why should they offer compensation? It's not their fault a fire started in the terminal. It seems to me that this would be more likely a case for the travel insurers.

Completely agree. Insurance company can then seek reimbursement from whom ever is ultimately to blame for the fire (terminal operator, electrical contractor etc)

They could have switched operations to Ciampiano and bussed passengers but since it wasn't an EU261 scenario ( hence no compensation due ) I suppose it was easier for them just to cancel the flights.

But did it work out cheaper? They were still liable for hotel and catering costs, plus eventually operating the flights anyway to catch-up.

Who knows how airline accounting works...

What was the loads like on Jet2s first flight to Gran Canaria Airport?
