EZY are fully committed to BFS in particular and the Belfast market in general. I wouldn't fancy the chances of FR lasting 2 year's even. The passengers here are very loyal to EZY, remember last time they ramped up capacity and stuck it out till FR buckled. The BHD operation is basically there to keep the competition off key routes like BRS, LPL.
I'm not the world's biggest fan of EZY but they've stuck loyal to Belfast, can't take that from them.
