Ryanair/BFS

Back to aircraft

Fascinating Ryanair taking on easyjet on Belfast Int but has this been in the offing for a while as I notice easyjet seem to be offering fewer BFS flights from mid-April in 2018 compared to 2017.

I just checked a sample month (May 18) and I make it around 132 sectors whereas the CAA 2017 punctuality stats show 160 sectors from easyjet.

I assume these "missing" frequencies will be added back in when the Manchester schedule is finalised or did they had an inkling that FR are coming to the party. Ryanair of course will take it from 132 to 194 sectors in May so a healthy increase come what may.

May 2017 was 22464 pax up 15% average 140 per flight so pretty strong to be dropping rotations but of course I have no idea of yield on this route.
