Let's get back to the rumours!!
Is FR going to announce a third aircraft for the winter or not?

My mad guess would be that the owners of Aldergrove don't really care how many twitter followers or whatever Mr Keddie has, if he continues to bring in fresh cash and attract new business then thats the important result!

Are Ryanair quietly backing a bit with the promises of massive expansion? Is it now "wait and see" as opposed to "umpteen aircraft and 50 destinations"?

If anyone recalls my previous posts on this thread, I called it.

What Ryanair say and what Ryanair do are two entirely different things.

Qatar Airways is considering lauching daily flights from BFS next year. Also starting from Dublin as well. Not sure I can see them operating from both airports.

Qatar Airways is also considering launching daily flights to Belfast in Northern Ireland, Al Baker said.

I'm sure my comment will be a pure dealbreaker for Qatar.

Interesting write up about Qatar, I hope it happens. Though suggesting that Belfast would be the place where there IAG relations operate from is the red herring obviously. Bhd can't be reached from Doha even if on 319. Even if BA were at BFS I fail to see synergies or alignment, as both would fly only East from Belfast... Unless Qatar were to do a one stop to US via Belfast...

Smile Qatar

I hope it starts quicker than the BHX service from the date of the first date the CEO went to the press!!!!!!!!!!!

NewsClips February

You have to scroll down to item 12 - The original article was in ABTN 2006 so it only took 10 years. The CEO also announced it again some years later and again nothing for years. I suppose he did come good eventually so maybe 2026?

Must be some. Emirates had a look round the big cargo unit a few weeks back.

TCX A321 took a whack from airstairs this morning, fair play to Thomas Cook for dialling-up Titan and paying the cash to get a sub arranged. Heading-out six hours late to Dalaman but at least they're going.

Edit: B763 G-POWD doing the sub. A bit roomier than their TCX counterparts!

Thats a bit of a nightmare weekend for MT. Had to use a sub for that aircraft on Sun then it gets bashed today? Yikes

Official announcements always run behind the gossip. Will have to wait and see.
