I know at the moment BHD looks like the sparkly new airport ( compared to BFS anyway ) with the recent appeal to airlines. But the bottom line is BHD is making next to nothing and with all the promises they have made to aer lingus they arnt going to make much money off them either.
They promised the world to Baby to the extent that they built an internationals arrivals hall which wasn't cheap for them, for baby to get shut
down and it now laying empty
The bottom line is that BFS may look tired and be out of the way but it's a business that makes money and won't bend over for FR which is why FR has never made an appearance at BFS, my own opinion is that FR sees potential in Belfast and is now willing to have sensible negotiations with BFS
