Apart from a couple of extra charter flights nothing else really
BOD and JER appear to have good LF based on the current prices of flights, although by chopping BHX on Tuesday and Saturday AM I think this is slightly crazy as judging by last months CAA stats they flew more pax than BEE to BHX and I feel this is giving the onus back to BEE on BHx
Just my thoughts
Still hoping EZY will introduce a few more European and LON routes

BFS is a complete joke now.
I was having a look at their facebook page and all they can put on it are pictures of cakes and boasts about planes diverted from elsewhere. Big news!
They even put a picture up of the diverted BA flight from the city airport on Tuesday. Strangely I didn't see anywhere the pictures of the empty stands on Monday when the easy flights were diverted to the city.
The management at the city airport must have a right laugh at it all.

Yeah - get real. Facebook is a by-word for pointlessness. Only surprise here is that there is some reference to planes on the Bfs page. Have you ever actually looked at the city airport Facebook stuff???

Yes I have, and amongst the usual facebook drivel there are plenty of references to community projects etc supported by GBBCA, positive news, new lounge, free wifi etc.
None of the childish 'check out the diverted aircraft that was supposed to land at the rival airport up the road'. I guess BFS simply have nothing else to post.

Balkan Tours have cancelled their summer programme from Belfast to Bulgaria. They have pledged to continue their winter ski programme.
Guess this is due to Balkan Holidays and Thomson operating flights to Bulgaria in direct competition over the last few years. Sad as they have been operating for years and are locally owned and run.
Believe they have no direct competition on a Bulgaria ski programme from Belfast.

Local Operator Axes its Summer Holiday Programme
Local tour operator Balkan Tours has pledged to continue its winter programme of ski holidays to Bulgaria and Romania but has discontinued its summer sun holiday programme.
Ann Street, Belfast-based Balkan Tours have been operating in Northern Ireland for decades now with winter and summer flights to Bulgaria and Romania from both Belfast and Dublin. The company was founded by Radka Lynn, a Bulgarian came to Northern Ireland Ireland more than 30 years ago and ever since has been one of the Province's few local tour operators.
Balkan Tours holds an Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) - and customers already booked a summer sun holiday with Balkan Tours are entitled to have their holiday honoured, or given a full refund.

I notice Europe airpost is starting flights this summer from Glasgow to Halifax
With west jet also starting flights across the Atlantic using 737-700 with a capacity of 120-130pax surely this is the perfect size aircraft for a route from BFS to canada,

Do the Europepost not start in Paris and call in GLA on the way? More reason for this type of operation to use BFS so only need to partial sell seats rather than an entire a/c. Or try even to get Westjet to use BFS
