Great News. Been a while since the Aer Lingus Milan (Malpensa) route ex BFS. Departure first thing in the morning Tuesday and Saturday and back into Belfast by 1155, I'm guessing that a sun route of some length will appear, like Tenerife and would be Tue and Sat pm. So definitely another based unit, great news.
Any domestics that they come up with could be with non based units, certainly in the case of EMA...

Management did say there would be more announcements this week following swissports last week
However did they not say ryanair would not announce any more routes until autumn?

A total of 756 seats a week rtn. Wow. FR ain't playing games.
Let's see how long that one runs with APD added (genuinely from a cynical FR spectator and not from a BFS cynic - for once!). NOC didn't last long (for example).

News item in my local paper quoting BFS human resources manager that Fr will operate 6 routes with 3based aircraft and expect to carry 1m pax. Article is about the jobs fair.

This may have something to do with, They would not want to announce a new Italian route when in negotiations about this.
"Ryanair (FR, Dublin Int'l) has announced it will scale back its Italian operations as a result of a 40% hike in passenger departure taxes which came into effect on January 1 of this year."

BGY-BFS was announced at a press conference in Italy today so unless a spanner has been thrown in the works ? A number of routes from BGY and MXL were launched.
BGY
1 additional aircraft (16)
5 routes - Hamburg, Nuremberg, Prague (daily), Timisoara (x5), Gdansk (x3)
Bristol and Santiago to be extended
Additional Freq - Madrid, Warsaw, Manchester, Vilnius, Lanzarote and Malaga
MXP
1 additional aircraft (2)
4 routes - Catania (4 daily), Brussels (2 daily), Sofia (daily), Gran Canaria (x1)
Did FR not state no new routes until APD is removed, adding routes now would defeat this.

Well if that is the case LGW will be the only FR route from BFS. There is going to be a lot of egg on the face of those recruiting at BFS.
