Air transport International B767
Just to give u the heads up that ATN 767 has been operating from BFS to EMA for the TNT A300 for the last two or three weeks. 
PLUS: Air VIA will start at BFS to Burgas starts on 2 June 2012 (Just for the summer)
And Air Australia was going to start at BFS but there going bust. They where going to fly to Larnaca and Rhodes (i think) it was going to start on the 4 July 2012. But looks like there going.

Airport 66, sorry stand corrected. Though come the summer schedule, it is down to daily (checked the website) with no flight on a Saturday. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday flights are also late afternoon so not great timings.
Wonder will Olympic try and secure another airline for their charter ops??

Strategic Airlines
It is clearly explained elsewhere on PPRuNe that Air Australia has had problems. It was formerly known as Strategic Airlines. The Australian operation and the European operation have separate structures and separate operating licences (Strategic based I think in Luxemburg). On that basis there is no reason to assume that the problems down under with Air Australia will affect Strategic, indeed it has been operating normally in the last few days

Belfast - Heathrow route safe, claims BA owners
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/bu...-16124624.html
Nothing really new I guess, just reiterating the commitment to Belfast, as per todays Belfast Telegraph.
Also the management of BFS pushing for the airport to be included in infrastructure improvements, to help our economic recovery and for the benefit of NI plc.
Airport tells Government not

Better transport, lower taxes, more variety of destinations = more passengers in/out of the country which then = more money in the economy and more jobs..

If the management of BFS really cared about the economy in the north then they would do away with the ridiculous and punitive drive- in levy that they have imposed on THE PEOPLE OF NORN IRON. Anyone can see how popular this is when you drive along the approach road to the airport. Now they want to grab money from the public purse!!!!! I think not.

ezy increase
Was reading a report today and easyjet have an extra 38 weekly flights ex bfs, this is the 3rd biggest increase of flights from an airport over the whole network ( gatwick 1st, Southend 2nd ) this is potentially an extra 6000pax a week (only based on a319 so could be more) can only be good for stats. Maybe this is why they havnt launched any new routes this year, only increasing freq on definite popular ones

Airport puts in
a small increase, but much better than the declines we have seen since 2008/9... arrived in from EDI this morning, i see the go-kart track has been reassembled with a large area at the domestic tracks now blocked off ( are they going to start work on something?) and there is now a glass partition in the domestic arrivals hall.. looks like they will be stopping anyone who isn't from an inbound flight getting into that area
Airport puts in ‘solid effort’ with passenger growth
Published: 07 March 2012
Belfast International airport saw passenger numbers grow by more than 90,000 to 4.102 million last year in the face of another tough year for the economy.
Civil Aviation Authority figures show the International’s performance meant it was one of only a handful of UK airports to register growth.
Belfast International Airport Managing Director, John Doran, said: “The International is delighted to note the increase in annual traffic in the current economic circumstances.
“This result is due to a strong collaborative effort between the airport and our airline customers. We continue to strive towards expansion of Northern Ireland’s air transport network, with particular emphasis on routes delivering inbound prospects from tourists and investors.
“Our 2.3% growth has to be seen in the context of double digit declines for other airports, and is due in no small measure to the entire team willing to go the extra mile.
“We will have challenges ahead, but with the commitment of staff, airlines and, of course, our devolved administration, we can continue to defy the odds.
“This has been a solid effort for the International, helped in no small measure by new state-of-the-art facilities.
“We have invested heavily in our Terminal and work is continuing on a range of additional improvements which will further enhance the passenger experience and our operational capability”.
