So seems a knew direct service to Brussels is on cards,both airports are in negotiations with an airline to operate it so wonder who will get it,they say tourism Ireland will have some kind of input into some kind of package so were have we seen this before.

Well saying that BA is on the board of Tourism Ireland, I think we can easily guess which airport it goes to.
Edit: sorry Airport66, just realised what you were saying at the end of your post.

It certainly seems to be a major old( or perhaps free p) boys network in many facets of NI life.

Bout time - I've always said Brussels was a next step forward, fairly obvious it will be SN and if I was a betting man I would guess BHD stand the greater chance but you never know. Belgium is great to visit and the whole country and beyond is linked up with a fast and efficient rail service. Brussels is a good airport to transfer through. I will definitely be catching one of those flights!

Brussels sounds like very exciting news indeed. Smaller sized aircraft I suspect more suited. A particularly challenging one I suspect with Dublin recently doubling capacity when Ryanair joined the route... Irrespective of any debate on Belfast airports, I don't think it matters 1 bit....

In the long run which airport is chosen indeed doesn't make a huge difference but I could see SN choosing BHD. Assuming it is SN the upside against DUB is the connections they can offer which NI needs, it will be more than just a point to point route I think.

I'd agree mart01, will need interlining traffic but I suspect the Avrojet too big, perhaps Flybe ac, but not sure if it is still operating.... On the flip side if it is Brussels Airlines coming into BFS could feed the Newark flight.... Not that they would need to feed it,but it could be of some value to SN n developing the route.?
They have some strengths to the African continent in there network.....

Big colourful airline logos consuming most of the space are pretty useless when 95% of them are Easyjet anyway...

Strange query perhaps but curious anyway!
Let's hypothetically say I had an Aston Martin that I wanted to take for a blast along the runway and let's say I was unfortunate to lose control and total the beast, would my insurance cover me? Should I be there in the first place? Just relates to a strange story I've heard from a few different sources recently..
