The delay in loading Summer 2015 flights is now bordering on farcical.

As someone said on twitter the only way they can guarantee travel right now in April 2015 to London is by booking from Belfast - Easyjet and Aerlingus etc all have their summer 2015 schedules up.

There may hopefully be a valid reason but customers cannot be expected to 'hold on' and not book from Belfast in the hope that the Derry flights will be 'loaded soon'.

I haven't a notion why the summer 2015 flights are not available yet but something tells me it is beyond the Airports control and that they are at the mercy of Ryanair.

I would not be surprised if the rumours about Derry talking to Aerlingus are true and that Ryanair are being 'thran' and saying 'sure let us know how the Aerlingus talks are going and then maybe we'll load the flights for summer 2015'

This might sound like a crazy statement but as it stands technically Derry will be closing 28th March 2015 unless Ryanair or A N Other airline gets flights going after that.
