Oh obviously people from the west will always use Dublin as someone has posted the big 'Lough Neagh' issue (it's only got 2 motorways one at the top and one at the bottom). But sure if I live in Cookstown or Coalisland Dublin is a lot handier. I mean really are you guys for real!

Not disputing this however longer term only routes delivering a good return survive.

And the majority of these routes are to mainland GB so BFS will be fine. I would say that any airport in Ireland that would need to worry about Brexit would have to be DUB.

Dublin airport is only convenient for the extreme southern half of Northern Ireland, so Fermanagh, South Armagh, South Down.

It's a 320 mile round trip journey from my home in the North/North West of Northern Ireland, so I personally only fly out of DUB if it's absolutely essential e.g. San Francisco/Los Angeles/Dubai.

Selective memory Owen. You have flown to the US from Dublin rather than use BFS.

I feel we are moving into personal territory again here. When will Norwegian be announced, anyone heard anything interesting about BFS?

Also interesting to note that last time the pound was near equal with the euro, BFS did pick up a lot of traffic from the south. Swings and roundabouts.....
