BFS101,Flights arnt loaded yet,however they will be loaded onto CRS within the next few weeks.Business Travel agents have been advised they can now book throught corperate GDS systems for a small commision.I would imagine initally twice daily for the beginning for BFS Edi And Gla...
So Mutley, is this the announcement you were referring to earlier, or does the following:
...mean there's more to come?
Cant say Jamie,might be the green bird stretching their wings ala the 70s advert.

Cuthere ,I was embargoed from from saying anything about the announcement so had to put a rat amongst the pidgeons.However,I do believe an imminent announcement is going to be made by EI Regional....
Thanks Mutley. EI regional would be good for BFS. Cater to more of a niche business market, with frequencies akin to those of BE.
I do however find it interesting that there's a lack of outcry at the prospect of further dilution of the Belfast-LON market. As I recall, when Baby announced the BHD-STN routes, quite a few people got their knickers in a twist over it.

Cuthere,thats true however what you have to remember is the fact that anyone can now fly and mix and match flights and frequencies like never before from Belfast.If a meeting gets disrupted or finishes early then the business passenger now has a real alternative in four airports from the London region back to BFS.5 if you include EI.This is what Belfast needs multiple choice from one location,not two airports 12 miles apart as the crow flies.As an ex ailine sales person it was easily done at Man Edi Gla Ncl etc not at Bfs/Bhd as competing airlines operated from different locations.For the first time Northern Ireland business community now have a real choice albeit with easyJet but hey its a great oppertunity.

I can't really think of any great benefit for the Northern Ireland passenger, unless their final destination is a stones throw from Southend airport. Guess time will tell... Yet again...

a bit disapointed there was only the one route anouncement today, was hoping of hearing new routes such a madrid and the return of berlin,surely if southend can have these routes there must also be a demand in NI
was talking to a friend from the airport and they heard that a certain regional carrier is possibly announcing london city

Jet2 have just announced a new route from its Belfast Int'l base for next summer 2012. It will operate a once weekly service to Faro-Portugal every Saturday with the route commencing from May...
LS305 = Belfast 07:10 - Faro 10:20
LS306 = Faro 10:55 - Belfast 14:15

good to see a new route
but why have they launched a route that several other airlines fly to, bmibaby did the same thing a few months ago, all the routes they launched are already served from the int'l, seems very pointless to me, could they not have chosen cyprus or greece??

Breath.Check spelling,punctuation, and grammar.
Can we please remember this is a forum - thus there is no need to comment on ones spelling or grammar. This commenting is however one of my pet peeves!

You forgot the question mark.
Good grief lighten up. I was fully in agreement with the poster and was (hopefully)sharing a moment of levity. If you are pained by it don't read it!
Now,back to the serious matter at hand!

I was just wandering what aircraft TCX use for the SFB flights this year. I also see that they are flying there on both the 16th and the 17th of July. Whats up with that??
