BELFAST AIRPORT INTERNATIONAL
Id say he/she gets an email, like alot of us ?
Mart, yes, I'm sure growth will return. Let's hope these new routes don't go the same way as previous attempts at Rome, Munich etc etc, though thankfully the economy is faring slightly better.

You can always opt out of those annoying emails about Bfs and concentrate all your energy on Ldy. Sure plenty of traffic up there to watch, no cardboard signs to look at and you can play with that amazing free wifi.

How is it desperate,they have the runway capable to except aircraft in all weather conditions why shouldn't they advertise it if its upsets you don't look at it simple.
Aldergrove was a poor choice of site when moving from Nutts Corner; the microclimate is pretty much identical. Sadly we just have to deal with it now.

Freighters turned back due Aircraft/Aircrew capability. Runway was available all morning.
Well yes, that's sort of the point.
You can't crow about accepting City's fog diversions when Cat IIIA traffic heading to your airport has to divert. 'Hypocrisy' is the word that comes to mind.
Imagine if Easy were still operating 737s rather than IIIB A3xx... would Derry airport be crowing about accepting all those diversions? I think not.

And as it happens, I think LDY would quite happily tweet about handling any diversions. Like, for example, the FedEx this morning which couldn't land at BFS.

Interesting PR announcement
Belfast ticks all the boxes (Dublin doesn?t) - Belfast International Airport
Still don't think there are 70 destinations!!

Can I opt out of hearing from you True? I mentioned LDY's wifi in an effort to perspectivise the banality of the discussion. If a completely effed airport with a handful of flights a day can have free wifi, then is it really worth mentioning that Northern Ireland's "international" airport has it?
Anyway. Nice to hear from you, and it's good to see you've moved on from lambasting BHD and all and any airlines that choose to fly from there. Toodles.

I am travelling to Milan once a month to see family and use FR from DUB to BGY. I could also use EI to LIN or MXP. I would love to use BFS as i live 20 mins away but as there are no flights then i head to DUB. Its fine, no hassle. So if BFS want people to use BFS then offer the flights!!!! I would love to use it ....

Indeed sealink you raise a good point. I'm totally for flying from my local airport and nearly always do but its restrictive and can be expensive for anything other than domestic. I think maybe the answer is if easyJet and Aer Lingus won't expand then to attract foreign airlines in, wizzair, vueling type thing.

Been there done that, can't be bothered with the 2 hour drive to (and especially from) the airport. You can get pretty much anywhere from BFS/BHD with just one stop. And the number of direct routes is expanding.... slowly 
Good to see a bit of fightin' talk from BFS, fed up with DUB's relentless efforts to grab passengers from NI
