Trouble at Belfast City!
Heard from a very reliable source today that EI are downsizing the operation at BHD. They are cutting all of the summer routes from October, and this winter will see 1x320 based there, operating only LHR. They are scaling the operation back and preparing to close the base.
The pilot base is being closed from October and the flights will be operated by Dublin crew, the cabin crew base will close in March 2017 and it is still being decided at the minute whether the LHR flights will continue with Dublin based crew and aircraft.
Its a sad time and staff will be briefed very shortly on the options available to them.
