BELFAST AIRPORT INTERNATIONAL
Dog. Leaving aside your sonammbulism, and also the comic content, can you tell me why BFS aren't shouting about the 10,000 seats sold? Either 10,000 seats have NOT been sold, or the airport is plagued by commercial niaviety. Surely 10,000 seats sold is proof of demand and as a commercial entity, the airport should be bellowing this from the rooftops?

The 10,000 flights were across all the launched bases.
Belfast was 2,000.
Perhaps for the Norwegian thread rather than here, Cork was also at 1,500, meaning that Belfast and Cork combined accounted for 35% of their ticket sales, even though they only had 18% of the flights. It would be interesting to know just how well the other bases had performed.

Cuthere, are you sure about use of the full stop after Dog? I would have thought that a coma was more appropriate. (eg see how I started the sentence when addressing you 'Cuthere, are......'
Also he is called SecondDog not Dog?

Whilst we bicker about how many thousand tickets Norwegian have sold to second-tier east coast destinations, Qatar announce they are commencing daily service to Dublin in June using the A350.
So that's Emirates, Etihad and Qatar all serving Dublin each and every day with the former two being twice-daily for the summer. That's roughly 1600 seats Each way each day.
How can that be sustained on a population of five million or to invert the question why can't a population of 1.8 million attract a single one of those five flights?

West Tit, it should be "Also he is called SecondDog, not Dog". Now, that rock you live under is getting lonely.
I never suggested my grammar was good, however you continually are 'spell/grammar checking' every poster's grammar. Pity you don't practise what you preach.

Dog, did you have to Google the big word? Or did you ask your source about it? You know, the 10,000 seat one.
As for my mucker DC_9 (have a scan for his former incarnation, Mutley Shriek); he and I go back a looooong way. Way before you showed up on here with your posts fuelled by inaccurate sources. Speaking of which (again) are you going to admit that it was inaccurate and apologise to Refuellerman? No? Didn't think so.

It doesn't matter how long you and your girlfriend go back as you are still a bit of a rude fella which was the point of my post.
Apologise to someone who called me a 'w****r'? After all I did was state what I thought and highlight the great cosmic importance of it all (or lack thereof) in the context of an internet message board that exists to promulgate what people hear....
As it turns out I was correct in that 10k seats had been sold and just the context was incorrect. In such a scenario the only important thing to do is correct the context, which has been done.

Sorry AerRyan, don't get the link between picking up on poor grammar of a poster, who is critical of other poster's grammar, and the previous 1st Minister of NI.
I can only assume that you are anti British and a biggot by your comments.
