Just a question for the local guys.
Other than EZY, who are the other regular year round operators at BFS these days? And what percentage of passengers are non-GB?
I suspect the squeeze will get worse as DUB is really turning into Ireland International.
Road links from Belfast and the North in general are now pretty good with DUB being on the North side of the city, just off the motorway heading north.
I did this drive in 1hr 20 mins in a hire car not too long ago and a very pleasant drive too. By comparison I remember a few years ago driving from Southwark to Heathrow and it took a stress inducing 1hr 10 mins!!
So cup half empty = the Belfast Airports won't grow much
Cup half full = you're one and a half hours away from an increasingly important international airport that can get you most places you want to go.
