Great news.
The airport Facebook site though is rather irritating. I've unfollowed them because I'm tired of looking at photos of Easyjet and sunsets. I don't see what's so exciting about an Easyjet plane. They never put up photos of things that are actually you know interesting..

Ryanair Tomorrow
According to BBC Business Reporter Clodagh Rice on twitter Ryanair are to announce only three routes.
Must be all UK routes at high freq if they are to fill two more aircraft...
Or maybe there will be more announced??

With the announcement of the new Warsaw route by a non based aircraft and some of the previously announced routes by non based aircraft also the Ryaniar operation looks set to be quite big indeed. If the previous posts of 4 based aircraft are correct that's a hell off a lot of new routes/sectors to be filled. The airport pax numbers will be impressive indeed for 2017.Maybe back to their peak?

Quite a few of those are already bases and could possibly support a BFS based a/c to provide frequency. I'm not sure to what extent they will run into EZY territory. I don't think they view BE as a threat, wrongly or rightly.

I really can't see it myself. But who knows. Thats the kind of idea they've failed at before and the likes of EIR or BE do much better on. As I've said before going hell for leather against EZY could be a disaster for FR. EZY are so entrenched into the market and are not likely to let go easily. Last time FR failed on domestic. EZY sat still and took a bit of a beating but didn't budge. I also can't see them having much joy with scottish routes which are stacked out frequency wise.

As Warsaw wasn't officially launched (in Belfast) more than possible it will be counted as one of the 3.
Going to stop Wizz from growing ex BFS I suspect, I did say it a few months ago!

No-one does, but as far as I am aware the airport's social media operations are still outsourced to a local company, so they don't have direct access the more interesting material; only what's forwarded to them or for which they're prompted to ask.
Keeping social media fresh and engaging requires positive effort, whereas many companies regard it as a money-sink and try to spend as little time and money as possible on it. That's a mistake because a stale, boring social media feed shapes many peoples' perceptions of the airport itself.
Which is a shame, because a lot more goes-on at the airport that you'd glean from their Twitter feed.

I wonder what you expect to see on the twitter page of an airport if not aircraft. I mean you cannot photo a lot of the goings on anyway.
Also, the airport twitter feed to me seems full of aircraft plus commercial stuff highlighting efforts to boost their offering and if you didn't see all the good stuff from Routes over the last few days then you weren't looking.

I think the social media side of things is actually dealt with very well by Aldergrove, they are very quick to put a positive spin on any good news item at all and seem to be on the ball.
Compare this to the fairly lack lustre and pathetic attempt at social media that Harbour currently exercise! If you go by Harbour twitter team they seem to treat the business like an office environment, only active 9-5 Mon-Fri!
I guarantee Aldergrove will have lots of publicity for these new routes on social media and elsewhere, as they should. Its a fantastic achievement for management up there and looks like efforts are being rewarded.
