Cardiff not returning for the Summer schedule
According to the WW thread there are plenty of slots available for flights in the Cardiff schedule, so who knows?

Some hope for BFS and Canada

Again on Wikipedia i have come across something. I noticed while on the page for Glasgow International Airport that there were flights for Air Atlanta Icelandic to Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver and London Gatwick. London Gatwick also have the same flights but obviously to Glasgow instead of Gatwick. I also will add that they are operating for Canada Extra... never hear of them in my life, maybe they might have a go at BFS...


If you want to see the page for yourself ..Glasgow International Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
..Gatwick Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Canada Extra and BFS

Apparently a very short season using an Air Atlanta Icelandic B747. The Belfast potential is a new one on me

EI are starting Rome early, with flights commencing 1st February 11. This helps replace some of the BCN flights that have been pulled over the winter. Flights on-sale now!

Suspicious vehicle up at BFS, not very many details on the news as they seem to mention the vehicle and the airport, then go straight to the Cargo story

The majority of the ECA flights into Belfast are charters on behalf of Olympic Holidays, HER, LCA and PFO.

If Olympic Holidays are selling well from BFS, which they appear to be, will Olympic not just try and source alternative capacity from another carrier. There may not be a loss, or substancial loss, in capacity overall, should this occur.

If they do not source an alternative carrier for Cyprus and Crete, they may as well pull their tour operator programme completely from Northern Ireland, as all that would be left is a small allocation on the TCX Heraklion. The Cyprus holidays from Belfast are still currently on sale.

Just got this email from Olympic Holidays which seems a bit odd when they say ''no they havent'' then mention Cyprus Airways .

Good afternoon Mr Thompson,
We know there have been rumors about the Euro Cypria Airlines had ceased operations and at present we have no confirmation from Eurocypria that they are going to stop trading.

As far as we can tell now, they will be operated by Eurocypria or a Cyprus Airways Airbus A330 aircraft.

Kind regards
Andrea

Have easyjet decided if they will use a A320 on the Malta route or will there be a cap on the number of passengers on the A319??
