Was just reading that Monarch is to start flights to sanford this year from Cardiff, how can a relatively small airport like this manage to get this route, and Belfast can't.
I sometimes wonder what the managment at BFS actually do, and to make it worse the company that owns BFS owns Sanford aswell, surely some sort of deal could be made between them and an airline to introduce the route (I know Thomas Cook flew it last year but I think it was only 2 flights) also we have the lowest APD for longhaul in the whole of the UK, can a Canada flight not be viable either?? rant over
We may have the lowest APD in the UK, but we are the only part of the UK who is joined with a country who's ADP is 3 Euro, unless thats changed
