Is Turkish no longer coming to Bfs? They seemed a sure bet last year.

Well whatever it is, they would need to hurry up and announce it.

They were established in Dub before they ever started talking about Bfs.

Have just used the business lounge at BFS. Have to admit much better then the old one. For midday, lounge has got steady business.

Another 250,000 seats, looks like it is going to be a very busy summer at BFS. No wonder the MD has been in
London so much. I wonder what is next? Amazing what proper shareholders can do letting management loose. All this rubbish about the superstar management at City! Well done to the BFS guys, keep it up.

Perhaps more super-connected than super-star. Therein lies the problem methinks

Well done to the BFS guys, keep it up.
Absolutely, just hope they start to invest while things are looking up.

Shoot me down if you will but I still recon there is a good chance BA could move, as I would say more than 1/2 of their pax are connecting at LHR location of the city airport does not matter.
Doesn't take much to reconfigure a few walls and produce a BA lounge, they may have invested a large amount at BHD for a lounge but most of that is fittings and fixtures which can easily be relocated in a lorry

Wonder could Ryanair give Copenhagen a go from Belfast?

Any update on when the other routes will be announced for Ryanair.

Things must really be looking up... On Twitter looks like airport team (not sure how many actually work directly for BIA ) but my guess is 100 plus living it up and celebrating a positive week! Surely this must mean more good news. can't see them spending all that doe just for an extra 250,000 seats

Could be since GK has been going to London on a regular basis. The 250K seats have been on sale since EZY launched their summer 16 programme ages ago. ......or just a staff party before the summer season starts

All 150+ BIA employees weren't invited cessnarocket. Managers only by the looks of it so not megabucks being spent on a night out. Good to see them celebrate success though. May it continue.

Hahaha! I'm sitting here waiting for the Bristol flight and when the Vilnius cancellation was announced, I couldn't help but chuckle. Not for the poor passengers - nightmare for them - but rather I was wondering how long it'd take you to notice GAZMO!

Anyway. From the muffled announcement I heard earlier they said "techical reasons" which covers a multitude of sins. If I hear anything else, I'll post, though the inbound from BRS has arrived nice and early.
