I'd be surprised if Norwegian or Wow or similar didn't at least have a seasonal run to the US at some point in the future. The lack of APD on transatlantic must surely be a pull. The level of demand would be ideal for 738.

Second threat in 3 years I believe, I doubt it will go ahead, if it does it could pave the way for a new handling agent to move in, as I have been told performance is shocking at times due to staff experience and moral

A little birdy told me, although could be bull that procedures were not being followed ref the de-icing incident, yet the driver is still there after numerous issues over the years

I was looking on BFS wikipedia and noticed someone had put Danish Air Transport to Birmingham but was removed. I no anyone can change wiki but just wondering if there was any truth to it?

BFS Dude, I would doubt it unless they has posted a link to verify it

Big question does anyone know when EZY are going to finalise summer schedule and is FR going to bring in the third aircraft???

Does anybody know

Anyone else noticed EasyJet have reduced of flights to UK airports from BFS? GLA down to one flight on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, LGW appears to have lost one or two flights as well. Few others have lost flights too.

I see the airport will hit 5 Million passengers tomorrow.

Still negotiating Cosy. Not as progressive as the Swissport talks though apparently (BBC)

Looks like the DUP breached public spending guidelines as well as EU aid rules....it's clear who was in his ear over funding for the route. Big mess like #cashforash.

The DUP are great at giving away money aren't they! Suppose everyone's good at spending someone elses money.

We have a government consisting of terrorists and career politicians, none of which live in the real world no matter which fleg they salute. Is it really any wonder that we are in such a mess?

They know sweet fa about running a country, some of the clowns in Stormont spent a lifetime trying to blow the place to bits while the others spent a lifetime trying to build their own little empires and line their pockets, why should we be surprised when it turns out none of them have a grasp of the finer details of aviation practicalities.
