Easyjet
See it confirmed in the Belfast Telegraph to-night that the BFS - Nice and Inverness routes are not operating this winter. The Nice route may return next spring. Apparently there will be increased capacity from Bfs to Ncl, Brs and Fao over the winter.

BFS vs BHD
The CAA stats for June 06 and the rolling YTD have now been published.
They show the following:
June 06 BHD - 182199 pax down 5.8%
BFS - 455559 pax up 3.7%
YTD BHD - 2178756 pax down 1.00%
BFS - 4941955 pax up 6.1%
To all the BHD supporters out there, two questions
1. With all the expansion of new services at BHD, how is it that the number of pax is not increasing?
2. What,if any, routes do you believe that Flybe are actually making a profit on out of Belfast City?
Would like to know what others think.

easyJet also adding an extra weekly flight on Belfast Int. to Liverpool with 8 return flights operating on a Friday. Fly Be only operating thrice-weekly between Belfast City and Liverpool with two flights on a Saturday and one on a Sunday for the football traffic.
I do wonder about Fly Be sometimes!

Have a look at www.bcaagreementeippanel.com and www.belfastcityairportwatch.co.uk - these might explain!

Bhd vs Bfs
I'm not sure that I could accept these as being the reasons. The planning restrictions have all but been ignored by Bhd and the planning service. Has any route had to be cancelled/reduced because the planning restrictions have suddenly been invoked? Have never heard of that happening.

Have a look at www.bcaagreementeippanel.com - this might explain part of the reason - this and continual oppression from a certain competitor!!

Whats the problem with marketing the product and people voting with their wallets? Don't you like an open and competitive market?
Welcome back btw

Have no problems with a competitive market however, if you read the submission made by BFS to the EIP, this was blatantly ANTI competitive with demands to prevent any further international services from BHD etc which appear to be in direct contravention with EU competition regulations - this is something which will not go unnoticed when the EIP panel are preparing their report to the DOE.
With regard to the withdrawal of the BACON from BHD - BHX, this is hardly surprising when there was already serious over capacity to BHX between WW and BE.

Seems that despite the BA statement that there would be no change to the BHD - MAN operation there has been. Trying to book flights from winter schedule and there appears to be one less rotation each day.
