clareview; yes Wizzair were at BFS and the fares even up to day before departure were very good value. They pulled the routes about 2008? I think. Which was a hard year and the winters of 2007/8 and 2008/9 were as bad as the airline scene got locally. What's more there was the huge capacity in the market that came with Ryanair arriving at BHD and AerLingus starting up at BFS also.

Given the Berlin, Gdansk, Prague are all axed from easyJet, it is surprising that some form of flight to Eastern Europe is not offered and the thought crossed my mind last week, would it be wizz that are coming to BHD? Perhaps resurrecting one of the Belfast routes that they did, maybe the one that performed best last time.

To be fair to Brian Ambrose, when they do secure airlines they will create some good publicity and if he adds a few airlines at low frequency he will have something good to shout about (meants in a positive way) that tells the public we certainly are progressing etc.
