Orlando with a B767 is not 'Operator unknown', infact its quite widely known now that it is FlyGlobespan who will be operating this service.! Hope it proves popular and stays with us!

Hi All!
Heard up at BFS today that Wizz Air are to start flights from 2007. Flights will operate to Warsaw/Budapest/Gdansk.
The Greek Airline that was in the other day was Greece Airways talking about operating all year.
Thomas Cook also to start flights next year poss to YYZ.
Jet2's Philip Meeson at BFS during the week aswell.
In total 7 Airlines have been in discussions at BFS over the past 3-4 Weeks.
Hope this helps!

I think the 'Air Berlin considering a move up the road' is wide of the mark. Air Berlin BHD service is performing well. The pax numbers are increasing at a pleasing rate and to go head to head with Easy from BFS would only result in difficulties and perhaps the end of the route. Maintaining operations at the Harbour provides the necessary product differentiation to continue the success on the service.

Not sure how much of an effect the TFS service will have on MYT. Last winter I think TFS was twice weekly, Tuesday and a Friday I think? Maybe reduced to once weekly.
Upgaded to a 762, oo that would make BFS seem like a proper city I can't see it becoming twice daily, would be serious overkill I think.
The rumours of another eastern seaboard destination, any idea who/where? JFK would be overkill on the NY route I'd think, and GSM starting to Florida, unlikely to be there. Do we count Atlanta as eastern?

What about the possibility of Delata operating JFK to belfast as rumoured on the Delat forum. Would it be daily. The CO service to Newark has high load factors so why not another airline operating the route?

I heard the CO would go 76. I don't think there's any chance of another operator flying to New York although I hear Boston is in the frame. As for Jet2, yes they will hurt MYT seat only sales but they've been careful to operate on different days to MYT also avoiding the TFS charter mayhem of Tues and Fri. So who knows anything about the RYR BFS base that's being mumbled about on the ramp in DUB?
not ryanair BFS base try bhd for size only what ive heard from the boys down the road in bhd !!!!!!!
