The press conference was called several days before this new deal was finalised yesterday, suggesting a BFS resident is planning to expand (Ryanair/Jet2). My guess is that BFS management asked this airline to hold back on announcing new routes until after Routes Europe in order to maximise publicity for the airport. Plus, it meant that if the deal agreed upon yesterday failed, they'd still have good news to announce following Routes.
