It seems dangerous to intrude, but I guess the flooding was outside the City, which is legally, by royal charter, Londonderry. It is more likely, from the pictures, to have taken place within the local government district, which is Derry and Strabane.

I said that legally it's Londonderry. That doesn't mean we always have to use the full name. Lots of people and places with long names get them shortened, and that's OK so long as it doesn't cause confusion. And it doesn't in this case.

An increase of the Liverpool flights from 2 per week to 4.
A few complaints from Liverpool football fans that the Saturday flight has been moved to another day but the reinstatement of the Friday flight will be welcomed by anyone wanting a weekend in Liverpool (or Derry for that matter). Besides the return flight for the football fans was on Tuesday so presumably they were travelling back via Belfast anyway but with a new flight on Sunday they can now travel back to LDY if they want so it is really no difference.
The changes come in at the start of November and the new flights are Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

It's open skies. Any European carrier can fly to any point in Europe if they can get the slots. The reason it's a PSO is that no-one else wants to fly it without a handout.

FR summer 18 schedule is now loaded. GLA remains at 5 x weekly, whilst LPL drops back to 2 x weekly again. Such a shame as there is definitely the demand there for a daily rotation on each of these routes.

Very disappointing, as you say very popular routes. Really need flybe or Stobart in to fill the gaps (possibly MAN & EDI), eventually pushing FR out and then run a comprehensive schedule twice daily to each airport with their smaller planes
