Dog in the park, yes biz pax want city to city but with restrictions in place like shortened opening hrs, short runway, these will mean;
~issues where aircraft get delayed and can't get into BHD before 2130, cost implication
~lack of flexibility to schedule arrivals later than the curfew time if necessary
~peak seasons no opportunity to put on bigger aircraft e.g. 767 etc
Doesn't give the same flexibility as BFS.
Not convinced BA will favour BHD in the long term. I have always felt that BA will have no interest in point to point traffic ex Belfast , instead interlining pax, and EI and BE have these covered well.
We will have to wait and C!
Good luck to one and all employed by BMI/baby and potentially Ba in NI. Take note Glasgow and Edinburgh situation, no crew base?
