By the sounds of things it looks like it going to be very quiet in BFS this winter ...... Very Quiet
um, no... it wont be.... between 1000-1400 it will be quiet yes, with only 2-4 aircraft movements...

EZY is going to be around 211 (216 when GVA starts, and maybe more when the new route starts) turns per week, depending on how landing fee negotiations go, this is only around 10 less than last year remember that PRG is no longer served by EZY..in the last 3 months EZY has carried more passengers than they did this time last year, so despite the recession i would say this winter could actually be better than last

EI will be around 35 turns per week, although some LHR times are still not confirmed... they have dropped 5 routes, 4 due to no/little demand in winter... FAO always gets dropped, but they are keeping AGP and gaining TFS

usually LS would have 2 base aircraft in winter at BFS, one would do cargo flights and live on F1 (or stand 29 if the electra cargo plane was about...) and the other would do a sun destination, i can never remember the LBA being a base aircraft... ive never seen a 752 doing BFS-LBA, have seen it doing BFS-TFS before though.. but that was last year and it hasnt been back since the start of winter 08... and even then it basically lived on stand 21 for most of the day
