Thanks for that - as long as we make our comments constructive I agree - suggest we leave it at that and see what develops - unfortunately BFS is somewhat inconveniently located to Greater Belfast where most of the population is located. It also lacks a rail link and the road structure serving it is less than ideal.

Admittedly, these are factors beyond its control but it does explain why there is a healthy demand for BHD - as far as Ferrovial is concerned I think it unlikely they would spend £35m buying the airport and a further £6m on runway upgrading if they proposed to offload it.

On the separate post regarding BMI replacing the A321 with the A320 on LHR, I have been told that 2 or 3 extra rotations may be introduced to cater for the lower capacity of the A320.
