A total of eight new routes from Jet2, six of which are new to Belfast and will include Naples. Another airline will add at least one new route.

I looked briefly and the island doesn't have flights to Antalya, Bergerac, Milas-Bodrum, Cephalonia, Paphos and Thessaloniki, most of which are served from more than one Jet2 base.

BA occasionally use the A321 on BHD flights, and the B763 is being retired, so aircraft flexibility is not an issue. Would BFS be able to provide BA with their own lounge and a dedicated jetway? Plus, Willie Walsh has said on numerous occasions that he intended to keep IAG at one Belfast airport - surely Aer Lingus wouldn't move back to BFS given the base lost them millions.
