Is everyone driving to Dublin?
Would the right size aircraft, with similar APD levels as the Republic, encourage Northern Ireland business to both places?
Correct clareview,
With competitive fares, NI people will generally favour BFS. The road to DUB is much improved, and T2 is a massive improvement over T1, but the relative ease of getting through BFS coupled with it's nearness makes it a given, if the fares are similar.
We're proving that 4 x JFK is viable (and more in summer), and we know there is a market for YYZ. Add in a very strong seasonal MCO, and there is clearly scope for long-haul at BFS. Maybe the arrival of 787s (AC/VS etc.) will offer something...
