Few weeks ago, we were told to tell pax delays were caused by weather at LGW, and most delays were under 3 hours. Just had a day off and catching up on posts. Obviously, that wasent the case. In the out of hours travel office, we rely on info especially when we work from home. CESSNA, I thought the Ryanair base was 3 aircraft's. Is this now increasing to 4. Also a very interesting retweet from British Airways last Sunday to some people who tweeted British Airways, this is where they should be. This was in reference to the afternoon BA divert. BA represented, never say never. MMMMMMM Cryptic me thinks.

Fantastic news! It`s a real coup for BFS to have Ryanair. I usually fly EasyJet when I`m flying out of BFS but flew Ryanair last week and I prefer Ryanair.
Onboard catering much nicer than EasyJet.
With all this Ryanair growth, the BHD management must be rueing the day they didn`t keep their word with Ryanair and lengthen the runway.
BHD`s loss is BFS gain!!

I have heard a rumour that this will be EIs last summer of sun routes from BHD.
Might be a record breaking year next year for BFS if airlines up capacity to cover the loss
Going back to the BA Tweet I don't think they would say something like that without there being some truth

Liverpool is meant to be one of the new routes. Was announced by Liverpools MD on a radio station a few weeks back.

Awe Jesus. After a period of relative sanity, here we go again with hearsay and supposition. Still, after watching tonight's NI political programming, why would the stench of bulls**t surprise me in this country. I'm glad BA's Twitter operative is kept in the loop when it comes to behind the scenes major decision-making.

Doggy have not heard about 5-6 , I believe aircraft 3 will be for domestics aircraft 4 will be international routes
Ba tweet would not read into this too deeply this is prob because the BHD contract is up shortly . I do believe mr k has offered a deal that can't be beat, this is simply to ensure mr a gets zero revenue from BA
Emirates a strong possibility my source seen them this week 😏

Cessna, your post reminds me of an email I received from Lagos a while back telling me I had won £5m and all I had to do was provide my bank details.

Emirates. Yeah. Makes sense. Instead of adding a third daily flight to DUB, or wait until the A380 can be accommodated, it'd make more sense to start a route to BFS. Genius. Pure genius.

The route development fund should hopefully open up a few more routes over the next 12 months which hopefully will benefit both Belfast airports

Would be great to see a Canadian route back on the board

I bet Emirates can't wait. Also, I'm delighted to see the humans who live near LDY, that other runway in NI, aren't allowed to benefit from the route development fund.

Cut here I am simply stating facts, like most on here we enjoy seeing Bfs flourish unfortunately you either A you don't or B you have grumpy old man syndrome . I can assure you Emirates were in Bfs this week for three days two days spent in the airport the last day talking to the folks on the hill FACT !
Ryanair are basing 4 aircraft at BFS FACT!

Why should LDY get a share of the fund? It already sucks enough out of the NI public purse

Cessna. I think Aldergrove is on a par with the contents of your posts. FR basing 40 aeroplanes is entirely possible.

What I find utter bulls**t is that an organisation of the size of BA would tease those who hate BHD with a Twitter tit bit suggesting they're on their way to BFS. "Never say never"!! We'll have Virgin Galactic soon! Can't wait.

As for Emirates. Explain the business logic please, and if you decide to, try to do it in a coherent way. Thank you.

LDY sucks **** all out of your purse, unless you live in Derry City and Strabane council area. As an aside, the working population in the northwest pay their taxes to Stormont and get f**k all in return in a comparative sense. Derry has some of the best schools in NI. It's a shame you didn't get a chance to attend one of them, Cessna.

I heard Emirates were looking round one of the Cargo units though, so that might be a factor.

As for the naysayers regarding BA, I heard it from a BA employee that their superiors would fly to BFS in a heartbeat but then I suppose the extra 20 minutes getting into the city centre would be a real deal breaker...... yawn

Cargo would make more sense.

In a heartbeat? What's stopping them? 20 minutes to the city centre? Good luck with that.

Business case ! That is between Emirates and BFS management.
Must take note not to have a tipple before I come onto this site,"cut here" insistes on English profecto.
I have only stated facts I do not pretend to be an aviation expert though do have great knowledge.
I do find it very amusing tho to see the likes of my friend "spit the dummy's outta the pram" just because the Main airport of Northern Ireland has finally grew a set
