They might do Heathrow in a turboprop if the numbers are dropping??

Aaron9890; AerLingus LHR numbers are very respectable at the moment and they have a very fair share of the LHR Belfast market. Besides even if they were not RE wouldnt be flying to LHR!!
The reduction in frequency next summer will be a move to boost yield. Skies ahead very blue for AerLingus on BFS LHR as whatever happens to bmi in my view, will have huge implications for BHD LHR route. If BA takes over as seems to be the overwhelming rumour, BHD LHR wont be a top priority, what with EI feeding LHR transit passengers, why would BA want to join a marginal route for point to point passengers?

If BA did maintain Belfast LHR, dont believe it would stay at BHD but move to BFS, and not at more than x3 daily!!
