Dublin is a bigger market than 2 belfast airports bigger in bound tourism and business traveller plus the airport and one main airline is state owned reason the government down south is handing all these airlines huge subsides and cheaper landing fee deals to get them through the quieter winter months belfast is not its has been in private ownership for years people who did not give a toss about it would not give it money to start up long haul routes in the past its no mystery that air canada,emerates, and delta had agreed to start flying from belfast but the spanish owner would not give start up subsides so where did they go dublin where they did get it now that belfast is under new ownership maybe they will put money on the table and start to fight to get some these airlines back into talks about flying from belfast.
