So according to the latest stats BFS still falling (although in line with most of the major UK airports).
Well done EZY after reducing Luton down to 2 per day and shifting the operation to BHD, FR up on STN, no rise on any EZY/London routes. Oh and EI LHR up. EZY carried 8528 at BHD not very impressive (I know they weren't there for the full month), crap timings and frequency certainly factors. Is this what you want to do during a recession?
is expected for an airport like BFS to be falling after losing a couple of airlines and the EI base aircraft, numbers do seem to be higher on flights compared to this time last year

on average 85 PAX on each flight for the BHD-LTN, which to be honest for January isn't too bad still doesnt justify adding anymore rotations, i doubt this month will... maybe once we see the start of the summer schedule numbers will pick up (but then again in summer every flight is almost at capacity), however LTN still remains in the BFS booking system.. wonder how long it'll stay there PRG floated around for awhile

remember they were making a point to management at BFS, in the long run it could be a good thing for them as BFS needs EZY to operate, should be interesting to hear what happens at the next landing fee negotiations

LTN-BHD just about made it into BHD last night, think it landed at 2110.. probably sneaked out just before 2130

EI's BFS-LHR route has became popular in the last few weeks

think BFS finally figured out that they cant hire 0900-1700 contractors to do work(or they are behind schedule) stand 27's drainage system was been worked on after midnight last night
