Virgin will be offering 8 return flights. This was announced a few months ago.

I can't see there being enough demand for Thomas Cook and Virgin though. This year so far there was around 10 flights..
Go back 10 years, and there were about 3 flights every weekend out of BFS to Orlando, all through the summer. Add in the 'halo' effect that flying directly from BFS with VS brings, and I don't think we'll have any problem filling these flights. With A330s available, VS can be flexible with capacity too. I wouldn't be surprised if they throw in the odd LAS trip as well.

Because drunks aren't always obvious at the gate.

Ground staff are not permitted to accuse someone of being drunk as they are not medically qualified to make that call. They have to ask passengers things like what time did you check in what have you been drinking and we're. Trust me it's a very difficult judgement call to make at a boarding gate how a passenger will behave on board. Sometimes you make the right call some times not.

Just read this and to be honest is new to me. Anyone know if this has started or if not when. Surely it will mean more jobs.

Hmm sounds like you don't believe him SecondDog or if I'm picking you up wrong I apologise. I'm not a twitterer so can't check BFS BHD but thanks anyway.

No planning application received yet as far as I can tell, last one I can find on PlanningNI was from 2015 for Woodgate's big hangar. Interesting scaling, able to accommodate a 767. Only a handful of those in private use; Page & Brin and Abramov come to mind. Worth planning for the future though I suppose.

Hopefully its a new route! Wizz Air hasn't added any new routes from they started at BFS.

Looking at KUN destinations there's a good few new routes showing for KUN! Could be a Wizzair announcement tomorrow at Kaunas Airport announcing a expansion.

Wizzair manage to fight quite well against Ryanair I wouldn't write them off so easily, they are just as ruthless.
