easyJet has today confirmed it will be announcing at least 4 new routes from its Belfast base over the next few weeks.
One of these routes will be to Inverness and more details on the start dates and timetables will follow in the next few weeks along with confirmation of the new destinations

All existing destinations and hence little more than dot joining on their existing network - Inverness would be a strange choice - can't envisage much demand for that even with low fares!
Whereas if these routes were from BHD doubtless you would be cooing about the exciting new opportunities on offer from that ever expanding utopia of regional aviation. One assumes.

I reckon Rome would be a major success......religious pilgrimages alone!!.....I actually thought Aberdeen might have been a runner rather than Inverness....

Looks like Albertis (private joke for BFS/BHD staff) the construction company had better get pouring cement big time for the new stands needed to accommodate all these extra services
Inverness ( bit weird ),Geneva, Berlin and Rome might be existing destinations on the Easyjet network, but they certainly are not existing destinations served direct by any carrier in Northern Ireland on a regular basis.
ALLMCC, I am flying out of your beloved utopia of regional aviation on Sunday with FlyBe to Southampton.
I trust you have been very busy cleaning all the Terminal windows.

Must say Inverness does seem strange.
Rome will be a winner though, lot of interest in Italy at the minute.
I reckon they are only doing it to be able to taunt FlyBe with posters like
MOST DESTINATIONS FROM BELFAST
N Irelands Favourite Airline
etc etc
Can just see the advertising trucks trundling around Belfast, blocking traffic, neatly interleaved. easyJet, FlyBe, easyJet, FlyBe
must buy a flatbed truck

Surprised at Inverness...is there the custom to justify it?
As for Rome, we'd be better off with Milan...catch both the tourist and business market.
Same goes for Berlin...would Munich, Dusseldorf, or Stuttgart not make more sense?
...but it's great to see all the new routes anyway!

This is the start of the end which has been forecast for ages. Come on, Inverness to Belfast? Pass the Aztec, please!
The point to point market in Europe is now saturated, and when you've ordered so many aeroplanes that you have to start joining Leipzig to Lapland just to keep the cash going through the books, there's only one way down..........

Ah yes that auld chestnut! The demise of my employer.
When I started in aviation in the 1990's BFS-EDI-BFS was done on a shed twice a day carrying 30 odd people. Now we have 4 flights (148 each way) a day between the two cities and Flybe also going to BHD. Who'd have thought it.
eJ management aren't stupid, for instance they refuse to expand the Scottish bases because of the landing charges. Who know BFS-INV may not have high frequency......

I reckon it's down to CIA, CGN, SXF, PMI, FAO, GVA. My fiver is on GVA, FAO and CIA. I'll bet the GVA will originate in GVA too. Not sure on the logic behind INV..but i'll bet that it's only 2 or 3 times a week.

Seems like the media have been told about the BFS-INV route as per this: http://m2.com/m2/m2web.nsf/pv/85256A...r=M2+PressWIRE
Also don't speak any Spanish but it seems as if Lisbon is trying to get EZ to launch some flights from London.

Will be interesting to know when EZ announce their new routes for each base.

Why would you speak Spanish for flights to Lisbon? I agree that the EDI used to be a shed and now there are more seats than enough between BFS and EDI ...oh and one or two from the docks ...but surely the point is that the low fares GROW the market........struggling to see the logic here BUT happy to accomodate.....BRING ON ROMA !!

So the INV run is daily, with 1hr 05 for the flight, and a 20 minute turnaround. Is this a case of sending the aircraft somewhere to fill in the gaps, to hell with yield, or is there seriously enough demand on this route to make a stand alone profit - only negative comments on this so far? If they can make BFS to INV work, then they must be looking at LPL or NEMA to take on Eastern's 'prop services to MAN and BHX - or are there no gaps on their schedules from these bases which need filling?
