BELFAST AIRPORT INTERNATIONAL
Hahaha! Laugh Foyle Int? Derry city centre to LDY: 7.6 miles.
Belfast City Centre to Aldergrove: 18.1 miles (both from Google). 'Nuff said.
Is this latest story about anything FR-related as likely to prove correct as all the preceding stories about FR? A Christmas Tale.

CAA preliminary stats are in for November, and seems a pretty good performance for BFS.
Passengers up 18.2% month on month, and 7.6% rolling year.
BHD down very slightly 1.5% month on month, but still up 5.6% rolling year.
Competition would also appear to be healthy, with EZY AMS up 23% even with KLM at the city, and KRK up 47% with the Wizz competition to Katowice.
All the domestics are up in double figures with the exception of Birmingham, up 8%. And potentially for the first time, more passengers using EZY to BHX than BE.
Long may it continue, and hopefully positive growth for BHD again in Dec.

After the shame of naming an airport after an alcoholic, my friends always jokingly referred to the others as the Gloria Hunniford airport, and Nadine Coyle International Space Station!

This growth is all very well, but what happens in S16? If BFS don't get a new operator or have a substantial increase in rotations by an existing operator then growth will run flat from April onwards.

It's closer to Belfast than Aldergrove. You never know.
I honestly thought there would have been an announcement by now. 2016 coming in fast, won't be long until March they would need to get the seats for sale. Have FR even got the LGW slots ?

Ryanair & Newtownards!!!
I grew up in Newtownards & have flown from the airfield several times which kind of explains the aircraft thing but more importantly.
I flew to Paris (Beauvais) with Ryanair around 1996/7 and I was totally bemused to be taxying in a B737 -200(?) past Jodels \ Robins\ C152 etc.
It felt just like a landing at Ards (International)

Well Silver City used Newtownards on flights to I think Castle Kennedy did they not in the 50's I think. On another note I take that Enniskillen no longer has a licence for airline operations any longer?
