If Aer Lingus did chose BFS they would be able to get the £2.3m yearly subsidy for long haul flights to US from BFS

Issues here as already outlined................... you don't want Dublin pax going to Belfast for a "cheaper" fare, there is no clearance facilities in BFS hence if in North Down you can drive to BFS and fly to NYC BUT once you get there you spend 2 hrs queueing to be allowed in V driving to Dublin, landing in NYC as a domestic flight.

Economics / practicalities do not make sense.
