Those of you mentioning long haul out of Belfast, remember that an A320 or 738 can't even use City fully loaded due to the short runway, hence why FR pulled out. If EI wanted to go long haul from Belfast they would have to go back to Aldergrove. Given that Aldergrove only has a single UA 757 to EWR everyday, I don't think there is a market there. The A350 can't use Dublin fully loaded for the same reason, will only be able to go to ORD, YYZ, JFK, BOS and possibly MCO with a full passenger load. I wonder what EI has planned for them, since they have got 9 on order.......
