Any rumors going around? Any idea what EZY will operate in W15/16 will CPH be added?

And what about TCX, TOM and EXS for summer 2016 should be announced in a month or two. Is THY any closer to being announced?

Looks as if Thomson are basing a B752 at BFS this year online booking engine seems to suggest it with extra leg room and my tickets I got today says a 757 as below in the pic

This report is only interested in the bottom line cost to the NI Executive. It's not interested in the state of the NI air industry or the cost to Joe Public's pocket.

Paying an additional £26 return will mean nothing to the fat cat author of this report ... Professor Neil Gibson.

Consequently, it's up to the electorate to let the politicians know where their real interests should lie.

Especially when you consider many people plan city breaks based on where they can fly into cheaply. Its very short term thinking. Even a halving of APD would have been good.

They should reduce APD in stages.
When Scotland and Wales slash APD by 50%, then English airports (NCL & BRS especially) will complain, then Westminster will have to do the same. probably end up then as NI being the only region charging APD


So just start by removing APD from European markets followed by a phased reduction in the domestic for both BFS and BHD

airport66

Totally agree with you,but have you noticed that the politicans are very quiet when it comes to the issue of air passenger duty,as was said above some sort of reduction and maybe some sort of start up subsidy for these routes to be given but to both airports not just to one.

Case not strong enough? Case non-existent methinks.

Politicians determined from day 1 that nothing will be allowed to spill off the London block grant gravy train and hey presto, conclusions of report formed accordingly.

As long as the Treasury continues to subsidise their business travel to and from Heathrow, who cares if families have to carry on peering down the back of the sofa looking for their £26 taxes to fly in and out of NI.

Just had a look at their twitter page knowing that they would have pictures of the diverted AC on there.

Diversions seem to be the only thing BFS has to report these days!
