It is a shame to see BFS become a charter and low cost airport over the past few years. A lot of money was put into BFS to add a proper chk-in area as the old one was tired and not enough desks to chk-in the many flts that used to operate out off there. BFS has seen so many one hit wanders operate there and I really cannot see a LHR-BFS service in the near future, as for EI I really cannot see them operating a full service to NI to the mainland, for a start they havent got the a/c, they are already axing a few flights already to open up new routes to JER/TFS/PMI from DUB. On the otherhand I bet you any money EZY will open BFS into a thriving base to other european destinations, it really is a shame to see AMS being the only direct european destination that serves the province. You only have to look at EDI and it is opening up big style with new airlines arriving all the time (with the aid of the scottish excutive I might add).
