No Cessna. You HAVEN'T stated facts. You have stated supposition and rumour. Provide me with a believable rumour and I'll tip my hat to you. I'm delighted BFS have grown a pair, but for you to say you're not an expert but yet have great knowledge of aviation is just contradictory bunkum.

However, if you're on the wrong end of half a pint, I'll let you dream on.

Good night.

My guess and only a guess the harp will consolidate ops in Northern Ireland, despite the committed speech this week.
"Cut hear" what was the **** for ? Getting angry ? The use of what I think the stars stood for really is a weakness ! Compose yer self man !

Stopping them? Probably the fact they are a business and they will see what the city offer in comparison to the cut price deal from BFS. My point was that the nonsense you read on here about BA not wanting to move away from the city location etc. is just that... nonsense.

Note please I said 20 extra minutes, as I am sure the trip from BHD in the morning is not instantanious given that the main delays will be in the city traffic. Again,it is all about cost/benefit and BFS isn't as remote as people go on about.

Yes BFS BHD,
there were a few unusual visitors on the ground last night when I got in, hercules, perhaps 2 I could see.
What's is with all the visitors? There was also ilyushin il-76 there too, not sure when it arrived, I assume Friday, but it was still there last night at 11pm...

There was 3 C130s in last night. IL-76 is in until its next job comes up.

A pair of USAF Herks have just arrived, apparently another bunch inbound over France.

Though pedantically they're not going to BFS, since that's an IATA code unknown to the USAF...

Returning homewards from an exercise in Germany, apparently. Stopping by for a bacon soda.

I thought the airport Twitter might at least have had a shot of the ramp groaning under the weight but instead they have a photo of some 'Spring Lemonade'. Oh well.

Still might not be enough evidence for Cuthere. Could be a false report.

Do you reckon journalists read these forums?! My mind immediately goes back to the huge front page spread on the Bel Tel a few years back claiming flights to Qatar were imminent. We're still waiting. Now, perhaps EK have reached the point where they have so many aircraft that flying to two airports 90 miles from each other on a sparsely populated, and in parts dirt poor island off the west of mainland Europe becomes a good idea.

The article says
increasing speculation that it is "seriously considering"
. That's about as typically vague journalistic speech as you could get.

Aye. They have their recruitment days all over the place (including Cork - how are they getting an A380 in there? As well as Liverpool, oh and Sheffield, whose airport is shut).

Great to see my source proved to be fruitful.
Such a shame to see such negativity by a certain poster.
Onwards and upwards for BFS well done, even getting Emirates to talk is a step forward.
