Rumour goes that Ostend airport is in talks with Flybe and a Flybe delegation would have visited OST recently. That could mean opening of new route(s) from OST to Britain,finally I should say.
In the meantime JAF will open up a new route to Rome-FCO as from October 31st.(3X week!). The BCN route opened in April proves to be successful and will be continued during winter.
The airport also asked for more night slots to be more atractive for potential cargo operators.
PAX traffic during september was up 12% as compared to last year.
All in all encouraging signs for this regional airport.
