That is an incredible statistic, the busiest months with Flybe and Aer Lingus from BHD and EasyJet ex BFS on the Gatwick routes combined digs not reach that high! Very good indeed! And not a million. Miles from the performance on the Dublin Gatwick this time last year...

Good to hear BFS back in the top 10 after the April CAA stats. Am hearing the June figures are stellar with LGW pax close to 80K.

Credit where its due to Aldergrove management and marketing departments, at least they seem capable of closing deals and growing the business. Perhaps Harbour might want to try and get a slice of the pie before its all gone.

Funny you should mention that but the jungle drums or at least in East Belfast the Lambeg Drums are that a new operator is to start domestic flights from BHD. No airlines mentioned

Would it be Loganair or Stobart operating for Flybe. If it's a new airline, I would suggest they will need very deep pockets, unless they are flying to the likes of Doncaster Humberside Teeside and Swansea and maybe Norwich or maybe it is Stobart to Carlisle.

Perhaps Stobart to Carlisle...
Not many operators left to chose from. Bmi regional (though unlikely), or else Flybe off loading some flights/ routes on existing routes to franchise partner(s)?

The jungle drums I have heard is that it is a new airline to city and not props.

The way pax figures are going at BFS it would seem logical to surmise that a once or twice a day flight from BHD to Carlisle isn't going to cause them a huge amount of grief. BTW I believe there is still a thread on Belfast City...perhaps you should post this there?

They have an interesting discussion going on about their coffee stand.

You're in America, so good coffee is likely a distant memory.....as distant as the very, very similar discussions that were held on this very thread about retail units. Retail/refreshments - both part of the airport experience, no?

Anyway. Good to see the FR bounce on LGW. However, like all things bouncy, there's a down motion at some point. It'll be interesting to see when that is.

Yes...but in the context of BFS .

This speculation should be moved to the appropriate thread.

Yield is about to take a nose dive ala Cork, I would give them until March or October 2017 at the latest.

Why on earth were BFS thinking when discussing those routes with FR anyway Brexit will likely put a complete stop to them in the coming years.
