I saw Jet2 Boeing 757 coming into land about an hour ago, does anybody know where it was coming in from? Or is it going to be around for a while?

Thanks

With ACE and TFS back for the winter, wonder did LPA not perform as well as was hoped. You'd think Gran Canaria would also be an ideal winter-sun destination. Great to see second aircraft returned to BFS for the winter, and Rome to operate year round!!

Given that Friday to Sunday/Monday are the most popular outbound weekend break days(??) would this not mean a possible extra destination for the weekends?

I am certainly pleased to say that there hasnt been a cut back to one 320 for the winter!!

No haven't heard about it but i am right in thinking that i mentioned it a couple months ago. Think it was on this thread, could have been BHD thread. Wat routes would they do??? the ones Manx2 did??? Galaway, Cork, Waterford maybe ??? who knows we will just have to wait and find out. If its true thats good news bring in some ATRs into BFS

It was rumored towards the start of this year that EI regional was in talks with BFS about replacing some of the domestic routes lost by WW, however ive heard nothing since then but i'd say its possible.. looks like BFS has realised it needs to get its finger out.. with EZY looking to add new routes / increase capacity as Ali Gayward has said in a recent media clip looks like the future is finally looking a bit better at BFS...
