Looking closer at FR S17 a lot of non based flights, some routes have a mix like ALC and AGP. Kinda the effect of having more than two based without doing so. Not sure if the schedules have been amended or if this was the case from the launch. I suppose having LGW down to 4x daily will help deliver this.
On a separate note EZY have posted a tweet stating BHX suspended from end APR in response to query. Still fairly open ended response to a customer and suggestion it might be back for summer. Can't work it out. BE are putting S17 on sale end of this month, their response might indicate what the future holds.

MOL is a master of this sort of thing. Everything has a condition attached, landing charges, brexit, APD, runway expansion - you name it, there is always a get out clause. Despite this there will be really good growth at BFS even based on the current schedule. I'd say next major thing will be LON expansion. Also EI-A330-300 to launch 12 routes in as many months is not bad going at all, they were talking of about 6 when they announced their arrival here.

That I presume following on from scrapping LDY. That's good, 13 routes now, although I hardly think 2x weekly is adequate on such a busy route but I'm sure they will increase it, they seem to be playing a careful game here.

Moving away from Ryanair is there any word on expansion by Wizzair?
The airline is clearly doing well from BFS with from my knowledge very little advertising surely the must be looking at more routes? Or are they waiting to see what Ryanair do with Eastern European routes?

Looks like Ryanair is going to have a 3rd aircaft based for S17 after all!

Still think STN will be the next domestic from FR. The previous STN - LDY first thing in the morning to BFS, with the lunchtime LGW (12.30 flight) going to STN. Then just need an evening flight from STN to BFS!!

Very good gazmo you might have it there. I say LPL because its odd how BE ramped the service up and up and pax numbers grew and now its being shaved to the bare bones. MOL mentioned LTN as a possible, that of course could be LTN base operated.

I would agree Mart901. They were previously successful on the LPL out of BHD, and with MOL stating that they are likely to withdraw the LPL service from LDY it would be a reasonable bet to see it appearing at BFS

A night on the terminal floor for those poor sods, then. I assume in this case the 'other factors' in play preventing a return to Belfast were fuel burn-off, though I'm still not clear why they couldn't do orbits over the west of the island and return.
