A night on the terminal floor for those poor sods, then. I assume in this case the 'other factors' in play preventing a return to Belfast were fuel burn-off, though I'm still not clear why they couldn't do orbits over the west of the island and return.
The floor those passengers will be sleeping on if they decide will be the hotel room floor provided!

Perhaps maintenance at SNN are better placed to fix a B757 than those at BFS?

Why choose Shannon over Belfast for an emergency landing?
Belfast runway 07/25: 9,121 ft
Shannon runway 06/24: 10,495 ft

Wizz Air

Wizz Air looks to be dropping the Tuesday Katowice service from 3rd Jan 2017 to 28 March 2017. Saturday service only.

Vilnius remains at 2 weekly.

EZY will definitely launch new summer routes because they have taken off sale 4 others and there are gaps in schedule.

WIZZ reduced both routes to 1x weekly last winter after Christmas.

BHX

Interesting EZY still using language like 'suspended' and 'check for summer 17' in regard to BHX flights on twitter. Suspended could be just off sale for the moment of course. What I don't get is saying new routes announced for S17 before Christmas......

Why stop Bhx on a Monday if they are dropping it completely?

No way they drop it completely, FR would be in there like a rat up a drainpipe. Just negotiating with BHX Mgmt, who are apparently sticking up for themselves quite well, resulting in the stalemate of sorts.

I think the final EZY schedule for summer 17 should be finalised within next week or so (early November) so hopefully KEF will be continuing

Why do they bother splitting them up? More press coverage?

BFS-BHX

easyjet

September CAA provisional stats are out and BHX were up 16%

..........................2016........2015.......avg pax..load factor
BELFAST INT........18511....... 15993........136........... 87%.

No good if you are not making money I suppose but think how many routes would you need to replace 18500 pax with, how much extra miles would have to be flown and could you guarantee the yields would be better outside of summer? Next seat available BFS - BHX at the moment Monday morning at £190 and the next below £50 is Wedneasday night. Okay it is the end of half-term but still not bad and on a par with MAN, although not as good as BRS & NCL.

Pax numbers running at 4.9 million for the last 12 months. Definitely should do five million plus this year

Copenhagen,Hamburg apparently by U2 being discussed. Also London Southend by WX being discussed apparently. Source for WX usually very reliable. Let's wait and see.
