tower ranger, nice to hear from you ,how are you, im simply stating a fact that most people in the industry know that northern ireland has too small a population to support 3 airports <bringing ldy into the conversation>so what if the business traveller has a 15-20 minute ride into belfast city centre , the world does revolve around belfast city centre or so what if the holiday maker has to go from bangor for that terrible long journey to bfs to get their holiday flight,in man, people travel from leeds liverpool teeside newcastle stoke on trent wales everyday for hols and business alike so the argument about bhd being sooo handy for everyone is absolute s@@t you and i know bfs has better facilities and will always be superior to bhd..as for traffic and euro operators, a few years ago i had a conversation with geoff muirhead the md of manchester airport,in our conversation he pointed out that european operators see bfs/bhd as one of the most stupid situations regarding air travel with large scale watering down of services in an underpopulated province..and it should not be about competition between airports,but airlines in one facility,now think about a price war that would be...anyway im off to pour a wee vodka and coke <again> good luck ya all
