I'm surprised Wizz haven't expanded its services from Belfast. I'd say Ryanair have Poland covered now but I thought its other bases such at Budapest, Prague or Sofia may have at least a sessional market for the weekend traveller
I may be wrong but was Ryanair not meant to start a Venice service from BFS?

That makes SWF slightly more attractive, though I'd hope that they expand their schedule given that the majority of people (both NI and US passengers) would be making use of the shuttle service because of the airport's remote location.
The schedule has 4 services daily - 220 seats each way - departing Stewart at 19:25, 19:45, 20:00, 21:00. The BFS flight arrives at 19:05, meaning people would likely miss the first and possibly the second shuttle, and there'll be a big problem if the flight is ever delayed arriving into Stewart.

The shuttle is pre booked only and it's only purpose is to meet flights. I can't imagine it leaving empty somehow because they state on the website buses will be waiting for you when you clear customs.

From this mornings BT
"Mr O'Leary has already warned that the remaining three domestic flights from Derry could be moved to Belfast unless there is a cut in APD"
Well cannot see a cut in APD when we have no Stormont!!

Firstly, there aren't three domestic FR routes from Derry for him to move. Secondly, APD is charged at exactly the same rate at BFS as at LDY.
Yet another exceptional piece of journalism from a once great, now not so much, newspaper.

Reinforces the very strong rumours that FR will start both Glasgow and Liverpool from BFS, double daily initially from both.

It'd be great if they'd start flying from Stansted. I can't stand Easyjet, their gate agents in Stansted are foul and the planes are always 30+ minutes late.. At one stage not too long ago, I had a flight that didn't get into Belfast until after 1am (due in at 10pm). Not to mention that god awful baggage policy!

Owen from time to time flights are delayed, ATC issues, technical issues, weather..... which tends to have a knock on effect during the day. In general I have found EZY fairly punctual
On another note booking on Norweigen appear quite good
New Norwegian US Routes Selling Well
Anybody know how well the FR service to Gerona / Girona is doing?

Looking on Jet2s timetable and it appears TFS goes from 3 weekly to 1 weekly and ALC goes from 5 weekly to 3 weekly in March/April 2017 are they planning on downgrading BFS operations next summer because of new bases at STN and BHX?

Maybe it's FR and their ability to scare off other airlines.

I wouldn't read too much into the schedule just yet as I assume Jet2 are about to finalise summer 18 schedule. GLA and EDI already announced
Jet2 tend to be very steady in their approach. Last year they had 39 weekly flights in peak season, this summer it will be 41. Also they will be starting some routes earlier next year.

Other changes I just noticed is Faro now starts in March instead of February and Gran Canaria down to 1 weekly instead of 2 weekly though W17/18 back to 2 weekly for April 2017. Hopefully its just them updating for the official release soon. Maybe took them down to update the seat map from 733 to 738...
