Was on the first flight out to Gatwick this morning and had a nice wee diversion to Bournemouth due to low fuel. Made a VERY late Go Around at LGW due to a 777 stuck on the runway, and pilot didn't hang about. Got into Gatwick for 12:30 or so. Weird and scary experience.

Good to see Continental go almost daily BFS/EWR during the winter, with Friday being the only day it doesn't operate. I thought Fri would have been a popular day being close to the weekend!!!

Departures to Geneva 10.10 (EZY) and 11.10 (EI) this morning, another route which has the potential for over capacity. Do you think both planes will have good loads!!!!

caa stats out for November BFS pax numbers down 3.6% from last Nov. BFS/STN down slightly, LTN/GLA/EDI all down however a reduction in capacity by EZY on these routes wouldn't have helped, EMA down 16%. FR carried over 24,000 pax on BHD/STN where did they all come from. BHD possibly carrying more on the London/Belfast corridor for the first time in recent years, haven't sat down and worked out the totals to confirm. Interesting to see what happens when the free flights dissappear at BHD

So what if it did?
Initially I thought it was a go around when I saw the 738 make a left turn so shortly after takeoff but when I saw the other plane cross the departure path of 22 it looked like there was a conflict.
Maybe somebody who works at the City can give us a little more information.

Was on easys website and saw that in the summer they'll increase the Gatwick flights to 6 a day. Do you think this will see the end of flybe on the route from BHD?

I was on EI084 to Geneva on Thursday...a mere 35 passengers on board a 180 seater aircraft
Does it really surprise one. I mean who in EI decided 'EZY do BFS/GVA daily why don't we muscle in there, sure EZY are a push over we could duplicate all their routes after all Belfast has a large catchment area similar to MAN or DUB'. EI could have tried Zurich instead in my opinion!!!!
