The Belfast route is indeed good news but there are a number of other regional airports will be wondering how HUY pulled it off.
Late last year BFS was approaching it's maximum passenger numbers permitted by the planning permission in force at the time - I know of at least two airports who had set up deals with airlines (at least one was Flybe I think) to fly to BFS but City Airport Management turned them down, prefering to do business on more financially lucrative routes.
It maybe that the planning permission has been renegotiated and/or that the flight is operating on days and at times which are acceptable to BFS Management.
and i think that flybe are thinkin of seting up a small base at huberside and doing small flights to geneva, london gatwick and the isle of man maybe flight to faro and Alicante
No they wouldn't and with the possible exception of Alicante, no they wouldnt.
