It all makes sense now. Reading the CWL thread for years now we can see what the future of BFS is. Basically from an observers point of view CWL airport seems to serve quite a large population and a British regional Capital city, yet all the airlines bar WW use BRS airport across the estuary. Now I know that BRS serves probably a larger population however I have always found it hard to believe that CWL cannot attract a few more carriers. There is talk on the CWL thread of the owners falling out with airlines left right and centre etc and the airport seems to be slowly dying.
BFS cannot even hold onto carriers it has dedicated at the airport. The airport itself has a long runway, no restrictions is located not that far from Belfast City Centre and situated right in the middle of the population centre of NI.
There must be some sort of major problem with their owners and their handling of both CWL and BFS. They also own LTN, the Belfast to Luton service operates out of BHD even although the NI operations of the carrier are based at BFS.
As numbers keep falling, facilities, then more carriers and thus more passengers will keep moving away.
Certainly if their are no major announcements in the very near future then it's looking very bleak-is the problem the owners?
