I take it that XL will also be doing the SAT BFS/VRN route as they have done for the past 2 years.

More Information courtesy of the website.

Perhaps a new Control Tower will be included in the plan

Eastern,
You know who is either on holiday or hanging from a rope in the 22 undershoot.

I fly BFS - NCE 6 times a year.

I received an email from Easyjet to say they have cancelled the winter flights.

They said they are looking into next summer.

What is there to look into? Every flight I have been on is almost full.

And what was the average yield?
With respect, if you don't know that, you have no idea how well the route was performing. Pretty much any airline can fill a plane by reducing the average fare, but there's no easy way to tell from the outside whether the route is making money or not.

Questions about belfast

I have 2 questions:
1. Some weeks back we were led to believe that the link to Snn was to be restored. Any news on that yet?
2. This time last year, we were expecting a new belfast based airline to be announced in November 05. What has happened to that?

Answers welcome.

I love the date for the new terminal - if they wait until 2015, it won't need demolished - by that time it will have already fallen down! - the new terminal is needed NOW, not in nine years time. Also, 12 million passengers! Where exactly from??

BFS expansion plans

Have they published any plans yet for all this proposed expansion?

With talk of new piers and a new terminal, it would be nice to see some ideas as to where it all would go...

,,,although at the moment, I'm sure it would all be 'conceptual' rather than any firm plans...

August provisonal CAA stats BHX-Belfast

BHX - BFS 17106 (up about 4000)

BHX - BHD 24626 (down about 3000)

I make Babys average at about 111 per flight (the third flight only operated Tu, Wed, Fri in Aug) or 76% load factor based on the 733.

I would have said that this was one of Baby's least money spinning
routes in the past based on pax figures and low prices available but a strong performance even if it was August especially compared to BE & BACON (until they pulled off).
