EI-A330-300 have you any link/source to the info about easyJet to Copenhagen Airport (CPH) from Belfast International Airport (BFS)?

Thanks.

Wizz Air

Is Wizz Air just Summer flights into BFS from Katowice and Vilnius or are they planning on operating year round when Winter flights go on sale.

If they are does anyone know when winter flights go on sale? And if they are planning on any new route for Winter or even for S15?

A330, I have to say I view you as a very reliable source on this thread, and I'd be thrilled to see a CPH link.

However, I struggle to see how a daily CPH could work when a Paris only satisfies easyJet on 6 days a week and AMS just over daily ( some days 2 ). That said easyJet are well informed before they make new route decisions.

As I said wasn't from EZY officially and agree a daily service to CPH or all places is crazy.

It has to be assumed that if CPN is to be daily, Easyjet have done their homework. Business travel will play a big part in this decision as Danske Bank send alot of staff back and forwards on a daily basis.
Links with cruise companies will also play a big part as i believe quite a few cruise leave/finish in Copenhagen.

UA77/6

When it was announced was the airport not still owned by the Spanish company, maybe this was done at the time to prove something?

However considering the airport is owned by an American company surely another deal could have been reached with an American airline

Maybe it's too early to say but seems yet again we won't have a direct link with Canada this summer
No, owned by ADC & HAS (now Airports Worldwide) at the time of announcement but I don't think it would have made much difference as there wasn't too much notice before the decision was made. Don't forget they stopped several services at other airports for the same period as well so it will be an economics based decision. Hopefully with better planning, it won't happen again in '16.

Airports Worldwide is actually backed by a large Canadian pensions fund, so it surprises me too that Canada isn't on the cards quite yet (although I'm absolutely sure they are working on it)

All in all, there seems to be a bit of impetus at last. Lets hope it continues.

First of all let me say that I hope things continue to improve for BFS in 2015. It has been a rough few years but ,at last,they seem to be turning the corner.

I wonder though at the link some v people on here are making between the current owners and a route choice.

I have absolutely no doubt that the marketing department will be working hard to achieve sustainable profitable routes. The fact is though ,that the owners want the same. The pension fund backers are blind to whether or not a Canadian route is desirable. Whether a Canadian route can turn a few bucks for them is their prime concern.

It was demonstrated in the not too distant past that NI and the border counties COULD sustain MULTIPLE routes to Canada and the US. Until the economic situation in the average punters disposable income improves THAT sustainability and profitability may remain in doubt.

Before I left 18 months ago there was talk of Emirates or Etihad pitching up. Ryanair are conspicuous by their absence and there was even a discussion of a weekly CHINA (airline unknown) . Nothing has happened with those ideas (so far as we know) .

Perhaps 2015 will be different.

Yeah interesting - Ryanair seem to favour BFS for diversion activity. Think it's been that way for a while now.

Mountain waves are usually a problem when runway 16 is in use at Dublin, so go arounds and diversions are more common.

Would be most welcome. I'd prefer EK, but would be more than happy to see QR....
