The investments quoted were from the 2014 - 2016 tourism strategy document. A planned drop in investment.
Calling epic ignorance when you have made up your response? If you read the strategy document you will see what all sides agreed the focus on NI should be. Since I'm epically ignorant, I'll let you educate yourself.
Until Belfast can sustain direct flights from source cities, a tourism focus needs to be on convincing more tourists to turn left when driving out of DUB.
Copenhagen. Having a reasoned, logical debate with the Aldergrove cabal is a waste of time and some of them are an excellent example of why Northern Ireland is stuck in the 1970s. Best to leave it and let them believe what they like.

Cuthere, people in glass houses..... you do a pretty poor job of reason and logic and sensible chat as soon as a certain poster joins the debate. If you don't like what BFS supporters post on the BFS thread there is an easy solution...

I agree 100% and I have little doubt better yields including ancillary income can be made on other routes from BFS but will that be the case for 12 months of the year or do easyjet just take the hit offer a limited high season service on BFS - BHX but persevere for the other 9 months where yields appear to good 80% of the time?
Other than that take the plunge on untested routes where you might end up parking your aircraft in winter or I end up sending it to another base.
Fares are below £50 one way for part of Tuesday, all day Wednesday and inbound BHX Thursday but that is unusual,

Second dog, I wholeheartedly admit that DC eijit pushes my buttons and have apologised in the past for responding to him. That however does not detract from the fact that you are a hypocrite. If you don't like THE TRUTH as posted by Copenhagen and Jamie2K9 on the BFS thread, YOU also know what to do about it.
As an aside. I'm astonished EZY are quibbling with BHX. When one considers FR we're carrying 4-5k a month from LDY at times, surely it's a no brainier that they replace EZY, or even usurp them.

As for your thoughts on EZYvsBHX that might be an example that there is more to the debate than you are aware of, a bit like the debate surrounding the internal workings of the tourism support mechanisms for the island of Ireland.
For example, someone above said that the airline doesn't receive money from TI but TI pay for the marketing of routes if the airline agree to open the route etc. etc. Ways and means cuthere, Ireland has some very good ways and means of disguising state aid. We in the North have a lot to learn from them.
Second Dog. Wow! I'm impressed. You're privy to the internal machinations of a foreign government. You must have contacts at the highest level. Yet you spend your time haunting PPRuNe?
Excellent.
Excellent.

Yes, it seems like I fit in rather well, sure there are many such people judging by their absolutism. Yourself included ('THE TRUTH' remember? - If you knew it was 'true' then you must also have knowledge of the inner workings of many agencies no? yet you also spend your time on PPruNe.... Glass houses...)
But I risk the ire of your bitter self for pointless drivel as opposed to giving my opinion on NI Aviation (you know on the thread dedicated for such opinion)
Away back to the Derry thread and play with your buddy

Great reply Second Dog. Most of us ignore Cutters and his idiotic rants. Is he playing with his tractor or his obviously small dick. Hopefully not in Oxford, his assumed town. This is after all a rumour network. Things come true some things don't, but my WX and FR are from good sources so you never know. Now back to LDY and Cutters love in. Not many an airline beating a path to their door for PSO funding from an already council funded airport that's also being funded by the NI executive. The EU will be all over it.

Hello All, I've been out of touch with posting on here in some time.
Re: the Ivalo comments above
EasyJet has flown to Ivalo in previous winter seasons ex LGW with a charter series, I'm thinking from memory that it was more than just Christmas, so perhaps ski too...?
