Mortifying
Only if you are inherently negative in mindset. Amazing how much of that there is in N.I.

The way it was worded was more UK routes, a sunshine and a city route. That makes 5 assuming the UK routes amount to 3.

Also Denmark was mentioned in the same breath as Germany at the launch announcement, maybe EIN?
Pretty sure when I went to school, EIN (Eindhoven) was in the Netherlands?!

That may be so but I'm sure EIN refers to Aer Linus.

Keep an eye on the Ryanair App in case the routes start to appear like Milan did. Late morning for the announcement.

Hoping for some interesting routes rather than duplicated domestics

From all the rumours, if anything only NCL I think will be duplicated from BFS, maybe BCN, but I cannot see that one for the winter period!

Noticed BHD have posted their pax numbers for Feb on their website. Anyone know what BFS figures are?

BA/EI flight to BHD diverted to DUB. Wonder why they did not use BFS?

It was a BA flight, and likely due to DUB being the preferred airport, often to do with lack of infrastructure at BFS etc.

What lack of infrastructure, considering BA use Bfs quite often for diverts? What exactly are you referring to?

Believe BFS growth double digit again., something like the 8th month in a row with more than 10%.

British Airways don't fly to BFS and have no airline infrastructure there. For many reasons alternatives are often planned with this in mind.

Gazmo word on the street is that BHD down 7% in February with both BA and EI performing not particularly well and Flybe taking a hammering from Easy on competing routes.

Think you are a bit wide of the mark when it comes to BA using BFS for diversions.

If down 7% not good since this was a leap year and probably an extra 50 flights or so going out on Monday!
Interesting times ahead

7% is like for like. My source telling me down 2% for the 29days and that lights burning late in the Harbour looking for options to replace the EI pax from end March. Going to be an interesting few months.

Cannot see any airline coming into the LGW route, with up to 11 flights between EZY and FR
Wonder if EI would consider STN or BEE to LTN?

STN/LTN could do with a BHD cconnection. Don't see the point in one airport having two operators on the same route and the other without. It was like this when WW moved to BHD.
