the wording of that article would nearly make you think they are sucking up to BA to get them back... not the bold and underlining parts

British Airways on a flying visit to Belfast International

Published: 04 October 2010
A welcome sight at Belfast International Airport
It has been nine years since a British Airways aircraft touched down at Belfast International Airport, but the british flag carrier made a flying trip to Belfast this weekend to transport superstar ice hockey team, Boston Bruins who were intown to place the Belfast Giants.
The A321 stoped off in Belfast to pick up the team as they headed off to Prague to play another match.
Aer lingus offer a codeshare service to the Bristish Airways global hub at London Heathrow. For more information on routes and fares log on to ba.com or contact your local travel agent.

Hate to be pedantic but didn't a BA Concorde touch down on Tuesday 21th October 2003 (nearly 7 years ago). I googled for the exact date but I did see her land and park, not far from the A321, on the last UK tour flight and it would have been around 2003.

If BA had a few slots available at LHR could they not lease them out to EI for use on the BFS/LHR route. EI could then start to dwarf the BD operation out of BHD, which would also benefit BA.

Or could EI not transfer a slot across from Cork

You're forgetting that at Cork EI have gone from 5 flights a day to LHR (Summer '09) to 4 flights a day to LHR (Summer '10) + 2 flights a day to LGW. Hence the apparent drop in numbers to LHR from ORK

4 of the ORK - LHR were operated by a A321 and the other with a A320 during 2009. For summer 2011 EI will operate the ORK - LHR with a A321.

Yes, as has been mentioned above, the reason why Cork has seen a drop in passengers (and Belfast has seen an increase) is that the 5th Daily rotation was transferred from Cork to Belfast at the start of the Summer season when Aer Lingus launched a twice daily Cork to Gatwick service. Aer Lingus also downgraded Cork to Heathrow from an A321 to an A320 (Overall Aer Lingus Capacity on Cork to London is almost identical to last summer but now to two different London airports instead of just Heathrow previously). As mentioned above, Aer Lingus are reinstating the A321 on Cork to Heathrow next Summer.
