BELFAST - 2
Don't get too hung up about frequencies - think about average ticket price. Not the loss leader 'From' prices on the billboards but what the average person on the average day will be quoted. EZY are mounting a very stiff challenge in this regard.

one STNBFS rotation dropped every day and then flights to AGP, ALC, PMI flown in the same schedule gap... this either is an extra aircraft in BFS or it must be a record braking flight time to Spain

See during the main summer season, Easy have changed the Bfs - Stn times. They have 2 flights ex stn within 35 mins of each other at 15.00hrs approx and the last flight back is at 18.30. How stupid. I suppose this is to facilitate the fight with jet2. Might they not have been better looking at other possible routes rather than this and given NI Plc an ever better choice.
Has all the flights to Lgw been released now?

Hi,
Is there any news on the BHD Expansion Plan Working Party type thing that was going on up until July and supposed to report in August?
Never heard what was approved or not approved. Also the "Belfast City Airport Watch" website has gone (for good i think). Does this mean they were defeated and/or gave up?
Any info appreciated

Why were there several cancellations at the City today. Cork, IOM and Heathrow, was it due to wind in Belfast or elsewhere in the UK? I had been hoping to go to Cork but was unable to. As usual there was little explanation as why the flight was cancelled just that it was.

Can anyone see any new airlines coming to Belfast International in 2007? What is the likleyhood that if so they will be full priced airlines? I would love to see perhaps Lufthansa to Frankfurt to provide connections. I think 2007 will also see a new transatlantic carrier in BFS.
It is going to be a very busy summer for the airport with all these new scheduled european destinations!

BFS / BHS Provisional 2006 Figures
Some interesting stats from the CAA for the year ended Dec 2006, showing the following -
BFS Flights up 1.1% on 2005 to 48,214
BHD Flights down by 1.1% on 2005 to 36,891
BFS Pax up 4.1% on 2005 to 5,015,264 (The first time past the 5m mark I think)
BHD Pax down 5.9% on 2005 to 2,105,644
Without descending to the vitriol which sometimes clouds people's rational thoughts when both airports are mentioned in the same breath, what can we (or indeed, should we) read into these simple stats? I know they need to be looked at in a wider context, but can we read anything into them as they stand, other than the blatantly obvious?

Wouldn't be surprised if BFS was to record 5.4> million PAX in 2007, with so many new routes and increased frequencies already added for this year.
By looking at the pax numbers for routes from BHD it seems the LHR route is the one that is losing the most passengers, prob a result of less interline traffic, with so many new direct European and USA routes from Northern Ireland people don't have to get connecting flights anymore.
Any other thoughts
