It would be nice if someone would do a wee run to Malta

Welcome to Ryanair!

See you on the plane SecondDog!

Brilliant news. Keep it coming

[True Blue]

Is that all our news for today?

[BFS BHD]

Don't think that announcement today was the official launch for BFS for W17/18 so maybe there's more to come for BFS.

Wizz Air - Vilnius

Looking at Wizz Airs seat map for September it looks like the Vilnius service is being operated by A321!

[GAZMO]

Great news for Malta. EZY had reasonable loads when they operated the route so hopefully it will be successful for FR.
Maybe the third aircraft for the winter!!!

Rumours that JetBlue are sniffing around UK secondary airports looking for routes for their upcoming A321LRs. I haven't heard Belfast mentioned yet but would be a useful connection into Orlando, to connect to their South American and Caribbean network.

Pardon my ignorance are a321 lr aircraft a neo or even more range aircraft?

[El Bunto]

It's a NEO derivative, with extra tankage and aero tweaks. Should beat 757-200 range by a few miles. Interestingly I see that Norwegian also have 30 LRs on order, configured for 220 seats.

Interesting😃

Looks like Berlin is down to two weekly for Winter 2017/18 for Ryanair. Thursday flight dropped.

[j636]

A Sunday/Tuesday Berlin service, setting it up to fail !

[AerRyan]

Did the same to Shannon, and now cut the route.

[AIRPORT66]

I would have thought 2 flights would have been enough for the winter anyway.

[sinbad73]

Didn't EZY also fail on BFS-SXF?

[canberra97]

Fail is a strange term for a route that was cut, there may be many reasons for an airline such as EZY to cut routes but it to use the term 'fail' is a bit harsh.

[GAZMO]

Think the economic downturn at the time that was the main reason, Venice, Gansk were also curtailed, I think 2009/10

Gatwick routes breaking records!

from BT
Belfast International Airport to London Gatwick now busiest air route in UK - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

[BFS BHD]

BFS MD has said Malta will be the only new route for Ryanair for Winter 17/18 unless APD is sorted out in the budget, which I don't see happening!
