'Further Good News'
Referring to Flybe taking over the Ryanair service to Belfast City and the airport's August passenger figures (a small percentage rise of under 2% but a continuation of rises seen every month this year except April when flights were severely curtailed by the volcanic activity) Shaun Browne, Aviation Director, made the following comment on the airport website this week:
We hope to have further good news for travellers soon as we look to build the South West’s connectivity to key destinations across the world.
Could this be the return of the much-missed Lufthansa connection to Frankfurt?
Some airlines are loooking sideways at Germany because of the impending aviation tax but FRA was a significant feeder into LH's worldwide network.
