By the way you mentioned starting off in the UK first well NI is also part of the UK as you well know!
As ridiculous as the many thousands of people who fly to DUB from the mainland UK to take advantage of the nil APD to cross the pond?
A transfer process at BFS (which has no APD on LH sectors) might have been a positive thing if it was done correctly through a coordinated devolved Aviation strategy, which is really the problem for BFS because our dip**** politicians are too busy playing pet projects in BHD and LDY which means BFS can never really take a bit of business back from DUB because it has to fight for its own traffic against sniping and undercutting from within NI which doesn't have the capacity for 3 airports.
