Regarding being held on the stairs before boarding. Why not keep pax IN THE LOUNGE until the aircraft is ready.
In the (unlikely) event that there is a problem during standing on the steps eg a fire alarm or other evacuation type event,that procedure,IMHO,has the potential to contribute to potential injuries.
This standing on steps is ludicrous.

You are held on the stairs till the flight attendants make their way thru the empty cabin carefully laying all the seatbelts out in that crisscross pattern...only for every single passenger to flick them out of the way to get sat down...what a complete waste of peoples time...heres an idea, when u start boarding let the passengers continue on out to the plane where they will get straight on without queing on the stairs, blocking aisles etc! And the bonus of the fa's not having to stress us on and into seats while trying to make the departure slot...its not rocket science u know

New Hanger announced for BFS
Some good news for BFS. A new State-of-the-Art hangar (4,000ft2 Aircraft Hangar and a 22,000ft2 Office Accommodation) has been announced by Jet Assist. Expected to be in operation by Summer 2017.
More Here: www.jetassist.co.uk
The Hangar will be a distinctive two-door design allowing access for aircraft in from either side of the Hangar. This design allows aircraft to be parked through either door reducing the requirement for aircraft towing to reach alternative aircraft.
The main Hangar is big enough to hold a Boeing 767-300 aircraft and at the same time house Flying School Aircraft and Light to medium Jets or Turboprops.

And BFS management wonder why people use DUB saves money and a airport experience far more superior to what BFS offer.
People from NI use Dublin to:-
1. save money
2. It's maybe handier if you live in Newry etc.
3. There is an available route from Dublin that is not served from Belfast.
4. A combination of the above.
I doubt that anyone will use DUB over Belfast purely on the basis of the 'airport experience'. Frankly the 2 hour car journey will kill that.
Dublin will always be the major airport on Ireland, and as a result will pull passengers from NI. It is exactly the same as the drift from Bristol to LHR.

Where can you get a update on the proceedings of the public enquiry. Is it reported daily anywhere or is it a matter of waiting for the decision, which lets be honest in NI could be many months away.

Looks like US Air Force has started using Global Trek Aviation at BFS!
There's a US C-130 Hercules sitting up on Delta Apron at the minute and there was a US Army BE300 in yesterday as well!

Oh do you mean four aircraft are based in BFS now? You including the all cargo aircraft G-CELW as well? I was only counting the three passenger aircraft G-CELE, G-CELJ and G-GDFN that are based.
