I have to ask what your "too much broth....."comment means.

There was an incident. It was investigated by the regulatory authority. Problems were noted and corrective action will be taken. That's what happens in an investigative process.

The above comments are entirely mine and should not be construed in any other way

Sorry wise guy. Cut and paste error. Was saying about how it took two reporters (cooks)on lunchtime news to report story. big logo on screen and lots of tuts and hums. Was not and did not mean to stir pot with you at all just wound up and went boing!I understand the role of the AAIB and did not comment on any of that. I did read report before posting and pasted over comment in error. sorry. friends?

I'm just amazed the BBC managed to report on something from BFS rather than BHD, suppose it had to be a negative story to get them up the road from their favourite airport.

Best way to travel to France

Hey guys i am going to book a caravan holiday with al fresoco for southern France. I was looking at flights from BFS to NCE and thought they where a bit pricy (being June i expected this). Would it be easier and cheaper to fly to BCN and go over the border or should i think about traveling from DUB???

Anybody who has an idea or has done this before please tell me what you think.. thanks.

Would definitely not head for BCN if your final destination is near NCE!
A change of plane between BFS/BHD and NCE would be easier if neccessary. BCN is a long way from NCE, MRS would be nearer if you couldn't get to NCE.

The aircraft (G-CELV) departed Murcia, climbed to FL120 developed pressurization problems, declared an emergency and landed back in Murcia. The flight was the cancelled until today and operated as LS378A after a replacement aircraft (G-CELZ) was flown into Murcia. Pax + Crew was transported to overnight hotels in nearby Alicante.

Memories

As a kid my family would holiday in Portugal. Flying to FAO. Travelled on one trip with InterEuropean Airways and another AirAtlantis.... great memories. Can still remember InterEuropean serving me my first experience of an airline fry up. Another trip to LCA we travelled with Caledonian. Think we were on a Tristar? Again as a kid it was amazing !!

Are Lingus BHD

Is anyone not happy (as I am) with the proposed move of all Aer Lingus' operations from BFS to BHD ?

Aer Lingus have proposed nothing about their operations at BFS. They have had no comments on recent market developments in NI and they will keep it that way until an announcement is made which will either see;

A) Major Expansion at BFS with extra LHR flights
B) Moving all operations to BHD with expansion to LHR
C) No change at all.

I don't buy the option of serving new BHD-LHR flights while retaining the current BFS-LHR flights. Aer Lingus would much prefer to consolidate operations at one airport.

Aaron,

The luggage allowances on Easy probably won't stretch to a caravan...it would certainly be a tight fit too...

3 possible reasons:
1 they are moving to BHD
2 they are expanding and finalising routes at the min
3 they are just a bit behind and all is normal

If the issue to be confirmed is LHR and the BA situation, is it not slightly strange that it's only the LHR flights that are on sale for winter. Why not wait with all destinations, rather than have people book Heathrow, with the potential to later have to tell them they're flying from a different airport, or a rearrangement of schedules.

Besides the BA codeshare, not sure the percentage of EI passengers that are connecting onwards with BA, is LHR not a more late booking market compared to the sun destinations, as a city break and business destination. Therefore EI are loosing more business by holding off the European destinations, than had they held off putting LHR on-sale for the winter???

Yes EI trying to get the best deal out of BFS, i believe BFS will offer a deal EI cant resist, i can't imagine that management would want to suffer the embarrassment of another carrier venturing down the road..

BFS suits EI too well, moving to BHD would be a big gamble... we all know what happens to slots when the usual summer strikes kick in over Europe...

AIRPORT66

AerLingus have not relesed there winter schedule maybe because they are trying to work out what to do,after last winter flights to ALC,FCO loads were really bad some days you had only about 20pax.

If loads were very low last winter, I'd guess that EI are looking at whether or not to operate the sun routes this winter. It may be more cost effective to only operate BFS-LHR
