I see EZY has joined the bandwagon of the rugby flights, one extra flight from LGW to BFS the day after the match, with possibilities of more..

Also i see BD 83 is departing from BFS, anyone know the reason for this?

OLT Express

Does anyone know whats up with OLT express starting a number of routes from the UK to Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport. At first i thought it was for the EURO 2012 Finals but it dosent start until october. Can't see how money will be made from flights to an unknown Polish city, perhaps they will start a route from BFS.. :L

Nil. Perhaps a UK and/or a Canadian carrier could do it, but not a UAE one.

You would be surprised, For the amount of Polish people in N.I the country is not served as much as it should be, we were at one stage able to support 3x week to KRK, as well as the Wizz flights, obviously Wizz couldnt make it viable enough but I'm still shocked at EZY don't have a daily flight to KRK.. But in saying that there are a lot of routes EZY should be doing, but don't

Like Madrid, can't believe there isn't a Belfast Madrid Route
Also Something to the Baltic Region would be viable.

Quite surprised jet2 haven't announced an EMA route yet. Baby load factors where good on the route so there is demand

Jet2

With the announcement of Bmi baby at BHD, what are the odds that Jet2 move their entire operations from BFS to BHD ?

None. Royal Mail contract at BFS and QC aircraft makes the scheduled and maol contract inextricably linked. Unless Jet2 lost the contract for mail, I wont happen.

They wont move their entire operation, however they could operate AMS / GVA / LBA for BHD once the current summer schedule is over. Cargo commitments restrict an entire move in my opinion

edit - i see EI-BUD has quicker fingers than me

It'll be gone soon, probably has been edited or entered into the FMS in the wrong way.

The last i can remember these are the ones that depart each night, apart from weekends and some do not operate on public holidays.

Titan 146 - (royal mail)
Jet 2 - 737-300 QC - (royal mail)
Maersk - 767
DHL - 767 or A300, cannot remember
TNT - Used to be a 767 although i think this has changed to the A300
Various other small props, i think the fedex flight is the EMB120
