Is WW committing to Belfast or BHD in particular?

Jet2 - Geneva W16/17

Appears Geneva is being dropped by Jet2.
On sale at other airports only BFS not on sale.

Jet2

Pity to see it dropped. Wonder if they will try other routes. Passed through BFS on Monday am and three Jet2 aircraft parked up

Good stats just out from caa
Nearly 4.4 million pax this year. Up 14.9% on last December and 8.9 % on the full year
Again more pax on BHX and MAN than those from BHD.

Hopefully over the 5 million in 2016.

Belfast International Airport threatens parking legal action - BBC News

So BFS may take the Council to court. Hope they use a different legal team than when they did the same with EI.

On a more positive note ICTS is taking on more staff.

Wow Air rumoured to be looking at Dublin as a transatlantic transfer hub. Would seem to be a perfect fit for BIA since the airline doesn't interline with others and would only be transferring its own passengers.

Meanwhile, car parking...

With its current service and prices it won't be connecting many people anywhere.

Possibly it's just a threat by Wow to encourage Keflavik to expand faster; already the airport is forecasting 6.25 million passengers for 2016 of which 35% will be non-visiting transfers.

That 35% would be equivalent to 50% of BIA's entire passenger throughput, just to put a scale on it.

I can see Aldergroves point on the car parking, Ryanair are going to bring thousands more punters through the premises which are not that fantastically served by public transport. The options for the majority of people are going to be either get a lift from friends or family or simply take their own car. If they have paid pittance for an airfare then they won't be planning to spend loads on parking, hence the competitors will hoover up a lot of trade.

Did Harbour not do something similar some time ago with a car park that was using IKEA? Its obviously a major source of income so why not try and get as much of it as possible.

Business Lounge at BFS is closed until 11th February for Major Refurbishment. Is this maybe to get it ready for a new airlines coming? Or just needs updated...

Like IAG would give up a city location and throw themselves into the lions den of the biggest low cost operators and have absolutely no advantage over them.
