would be immensely surprised if EI go into BHD with these routes. However, there are advantages to having short sectors to fit in around the longer routes like the Canaries, as without these shorter sectors EI need to do early departure and usually quite a late arrival back in Belfast for the Canaries.

That does sound rather a complex setup somehow and I can't quite see what possible benefit there would be, especially when you consider how close both airports are in reality and the overlap of customer base, apart from I suppose LHR. The only other way I could see it is with say DUB based aircraft doing W's in and out of BHD and then that would only really work on leisure routes and not the domestic type of stuff that has been mentioned. I'm sure anything is possible however!

That post was filled with sarcasm in that thread
I too have heard the possibility of keeping BFS as the base and running W routes with BHD..

Someone wrote on BHD thread that Aer Lingus aren't moving to BHD it's official
, please tell me you don't believe things stated by users on PPrune are fact??
BFS-LHR-BHD-AGP-BHD-LHR-BFS
BFS-LHR 0730/0900

BHD-LHR 1915/2030
LHR-BFS 2120/2240
Aer Lingus will either move all operations to Belfast City or expand ex BFS there not in the business of serving two Belfast Airports when Mueller only recently stated Belfast having two airports was not needed. Aer Lingus will consolidate operations at one Belfast Airport, I believe that will be Aldergrove.

Aer Lingus
Looks like somebody has put on the wiki page that Aer Lingus are ending Faro on 27th October and that new routes to Palma & Izmir are starting next year... Any confirmation ? Or is this just another rumor ?
