It appears that the Flybe Belfast service will be operated by a Belfast-based a/c from S17, so an earlier arrival in EDI but a first arrival in Belfast 9.20.
Creating room in the EDI flying schedule for LHR perhaps...?

EI will increase DUB from 4-5 to 5-7 daily next summer.
06.40/08.20
07.40/09.30 * trailed for few dates over last summer due to high T/A pax
09.55/11.35
13.10/15.00
14.25/16.15
15.40/17.25 - Thur/Fri/Sun from 18 May
18.00/19.50 - Not on Sat
Whilst the ATRs are undoubtedly efficient and cost effective aircraft to operate, I can't help but think that it would be worth their while to put A320s back on the route on certain flights like at BHX/MAN if demand is that strong, rather than operating flights barely an hour apart. Especially as the volume of luggage (Americans and their golf bags!) on the most popular flights for US connections can put a strain on the ATR's capabilities at times.
