i think we all knew that BHD would get its passenger cap lifted eventually, however they cant make full use of that cap with their current facilities.. unless flight timings change... id hate to see parts of the terminal if numbers increase.. but IKEA is in a spot that would have been a great place to expand
BFS will always be there as an operational airport for PAX/Cargo flights, unless BHD can expand enough for 4.5-5m extra passengers, a large cargo operation and be able to cope with upto 20 night-stopping aircraft during summer, including day-stopping cargo A300/767 aircraft
Each airport has its advantages and disadvantages... while so think there should only be 1 airport, 2 are required for the above reasons, BHD alone couldnt handle the above on top of their own passengers and flights, while BFS could handle BHDs work-load, it would take away the whole "direct to Belfast City" business appeal
