FR are supposed to be looking at interlining with various long haul operators apparently. Maybe Star Alliance could be the choice in order to upset the IAG airlines at DUB. Possibly opening up an opportunity for UA at BFS. Unconfirmed but apparently three UK routes on the cards for FR at BFS. Not LPL but EMA is in the runners and riders list along with Stanstead. Also hearing Madrid and Charleroi thrice weekly.

Just seen a (USAF?) C17 approaching BFS, right over Kells...and at quite low level. Guessing no more than 2000ft.
A C130 approached in similar fashion a few weeks back. Perhaps some of our ATC colleagues could advise if this approach is normal? Seemed low...

Looking on easyJets website it looks like Gatwick will increase to 7 daily on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from November 7th.
A week after Ryanair increase to 5 daily!

Hope you meant LGW 4x daily, although with FR nothing would surprise me. EZY are ramping up capacity for winter so maybe this is a sign of FR ceasefire before they loose too much money

Just looking on Jet2s website wasn't Faro starting next year in February? Will now be starting in April and also Palma which i think was meant to start in March is now not starting to April.

O'Leary has confirmed they are expanding for the summer at BFS.
Wonder when they are announcing S17 from BFS?
Seen Here: O'Leary blames DAA for Ryanair decision to cut Dublin capacity - Independent.ie

However, Mr O'Leary said Ryanair will soon announce an expansion of its services at Belfast International Airport for next summer.

2 over winter Owen with some non based aircraft flights. I hope the expansion happens and opens up new routes and countries for us, it's worth remembering;
1) this is Ryanair, anything could happen
2) DUB and BFS are close enough to be played against each other and this is fairly common with KIR/SNN/ORK/DUB
3) FR ramped up services massively at DUB this year after a period of cutting back, so there is room for this.
4) If you look at FR's route offering at DUB it's totally disproportionate to BFS and population and tourist wise BFS could withstand a lot of extra routes, hopefully the buses which run down to DUB will be emptier......
