BELFAST AIRPORT INTERNATIONAL

[El Bunto]

Cityjet's Superjet diverted in last night due to fog in Dublin; not sure if that was because it's not Cat II rated yet or if they just haven't reached that stage of training.

Nothing about it on official airport channels but should be departing mid-morning if you fancy a gander.

Update: departed around noon.

Looks like a shuttle service to Nice in the morning?
Good luck to the NI team

Any news yet from the airport on what the pax numbers were like for last month? Caa seems to have gone to sleep.

Just had a look, and the majority of the flights are a complete bargain, certainly in October. Wonder is this a consequence of now trying to get bums on the seats??

Most flights appear to be under £20, some £7.77 single!!!

Looks like Ryanair are adding extra flights to Warsaw, Lanzarote, Malaga and Tenerife over the Christmas and New Year Holidays.

Bookings must be going well!!
Although on web don't appear to be book able yet

Today saw the second departure to Orlando with VS. If the flights are weekly I would expect to see an arrival in to BFS tomorrow morning (Friday). Does anyone know if & when the first VS Orlando return flight is due?

[BFS BHD]

Easyjet announced new routes from other airports today but nothing for Belfast. I thought a few months ago there was talk of another route think it was a ski route to be announced by EZY. I'm guessing its not happening anymore?

[El Bunto]

Does anyone know if & when the first VS Orlando return flight is due?

Virgin Orlando holidays are on two-week cycles, first return due 8th July VIR162 at 07:25
