New EZY SEN-BFS service
Figures from the first few flights that started Mon

Bigger ad campaign on the mainland although now advertising in NI, looks good at this early stage.

If thats anything to go by I'm presuming the people who are based closer to SEN than another airport in London are making good use of it, it may be harder to convince people in NI that SEN is a good bet for London.

Will probably just take time. SEN is certainly no worse an option than STN for London in terms of journey times (especially on the train), and it might even be a better option in terms of efficiency and getting through the airport.

BHD2BFS...All I know is the country(alleged). That it will be a twice monthly charter......and the equipment is an Airbus 330 or 340.
What I don't know is if there is any substance to the rumour.

So more than likely Dubai? By presumably emirates? I wish BFS management would work on a Canada route, there is definitely a market as was proven in a report a few months ago, the only reason I can see why there is no routes to the west is due to high fees at BFS and any more development into Europe seems to be impossible at management are scared to get a new airline in incase they P@£? Off easyjet. Just my opinion

Re Emirates. They would be most welcome. Though the current level of capacity ex Dublin to the middle east is working due to the sheer level of emigration to Australian/NZ etc. Not confident that there going to be demand to this extent ongoing.
On a separate note flew Belfast London Southend today, 126 pax onboard. Crew said numbers good across the routes. It appeared busy. I was sceptical about SEN but I think the airport will do ok. I hope the BFS route is a success. Was interesting that the majority of accents seemed to be English. Point being maybe not as many NI based pax switched on to SEN. Hence, may be the local catchment who use the airport more than inbound travellers. Of the pax I spoke to they said they chose SEN as it was more convenient than STN. I had a strong sense that STN will lose some pax. Unlikely the market will grow overall significantly as a result of an additional London gateway. I think we will see a like for like shift in pax from both Belfast stansted routes to southend Belfast route.

I see there was an extra EI A320 positioned in today as EI-DVI operate the BFS-AGP route today so far whereas EI-DVI positioned from DUB this morning and is operating the LHR rotations. Is one of the A319's tech r is the loads just higher because its Easter?
