Question for those who know the answer.. Beside at 18, where once upon stood a jetty that British Midland used, seems to be having small amount of construction work... It was fenced off when I was flying out this morning. What's happening there?

Milan

Checked the app, Milan still not on sale! So think we could rule out a blip? Been like for days. Strange one. They wouldn't pull the route before it even starts surely?

Another announcement is due, so maybe off sale until the announcement. Possibly adding another weekly flight?

I'm sure Swissport could supply a few air steps with roofs on them
I see Graham Keddie has tweeted that they are looking at installing more airbridges.

Looking on the website flights to Milan are bookable only on Saturdays from 4th January to 25th March. What's going on?

Milan could be chopped a little, it wouldn't strike me as the most winter friendly route.

As for this supposed third announcement coming "soon", I'd be doubtful. Ryanair don't always live up to their " promises of new routes" and I hope BFS doesn't have to learn this the hard way.

Perhaps going after ski market, worth known BGY was unworkable year round ex NOC or ORK and while it was at SNN it was back in mid 2000's. I'm not sure why Belfast would be any different.

Are you for real, comparing Belfast to Cork, Shannon or Knock?

The knock is a bit far fetched alright.
