I agree that KLMs object in operating the route will be to feed their network ex AMS both Longhaul and short haul e.However , I would suggest that will also need point to point traffic to achieve reasonable loads ,even is this is low yielding and will compete hard with U2 for the Pt 2 Pt traffic.
Also, so far as I am aware Dub/Ams is not operated by KLM ,Rather ,they leave it to Aer Lingus to feed their Ams hub.
As EI do not currently offer Business class ,BHD will be the only airport on the island of Ireland to offer KLM service and the only service offering a business class product .Someone correct me if I'm wrong !

I beg to differ as you have the option on the booking engine to book business. 300 odd pounds. Website explains all the business class benifits and row 6 is called economy plus or something

Yeah.
If you google...
Klm introduces new seats on klm cityhopper Fokker 70 aircraft
The article talks creating even more space while reducing number of rows in their European business class.
I don't know if this differs from Klm mainline European business but it would seem that a C service is sold on this flight and as mentioned they do quote a business fare ,the dates Ichecked quoted GBP 623 r/t !

Aer Lingus is reevaluating reintroduction of a business cabin on European routes... Not that it's highly relevant to the conversation, but it has been cited in the media ...

Owenc,
'Opinion', are you referring to my post? Not my opinion was in the media, EI said they are evaluating it. I expect it will be like BA, separated at front more leg room, food, extra miles, flexible ticket etc.
Ironically Ryanair use the term Business Class in their advertising in relation to their flexible tickets targeted at the business traveller !!!

Someone has put Turkish Airlines into BFS wiki page to Istanbul starting spring 2016. Take It this isn't confirmed?
Apart from that though the variety of routes are starting to look good from Belfast. Can't wait to get the 747 back at the airport again. It's also been a while since I've seen Las Vegas on the list. Don't think I've seen flights to Cuba from Belfast at all before. I wonder how well that route will go. All we need now is a route to Germany preferably Berlin and Munich. But most of all I want a route to Toronto!!!! Surely there's an airline that sees the potential of this route, it would be so popular...I really wonder why they can't get an airline to do it.

Well the 3 big Canadian carriers already serve DUB, with the 2 cities only 90 mins apart now I would personally doubt they would launch a second service to a city so close to one of their current destinations. That really only leaves the tour operators as far as I can see, maybe EXS or TCX.

Would there be any demand for a flight to the Far East such as China, Japan, India etc? But then again we'll probably see a Far East flight from Dublin before Belfast, even 3x weekly would be decent.

Then why hasn't it happened ? I'm sure west jet certainly would have looked at Belfast but decided Dublin instead and they had their best ever bookings after the route was announced .

The sort of proactive thinking that Belfast has lacked.
