Saw this tweet from the MD at BFS....
Guessing the announcement will be Jet2... Lets hope Jet2 finally bring a B737-800 for S18!
Great having @routesonline starting tomorrow more than likely a deal or 2 to do over the few days and then an announcement @BelfastAirport

I think BFS staff are getting a little over excited at Routes Europe - lots of photos on twitter. Hopefully the representatives visiting the BFS stall are talking business and not just looking for another bag of Tayto. China Southern among the interested guests - would be pretty amazing if BFS achieved the impossible and got direct links to China.

No idea - it was a retweet by Routes. Apparently a deal was struck during the weekend. I'm guessing there's more than one airline, given that Wednesday's press conference was called several days before Routes started.
If I had to make a guess, Norwegian (OSL/CPH/ARN) and Eurowings (DUS/MUC/VIE) could be contenders.
Keddie's also upgraded his forecast from 5.4m passengers this year to 5.6m.

Just showed this to my better half who is a Co.Derry girl now living with me in England.She said 'Why do you think I couldn't get out of the place fast enough?'
Think on folks - the image you portray to the outside world is toxic.

That wasn't the most tastefully worded statement, agreed. That doesn't evade the fact DUB is spending millions trying to attract business from BFS/BHD.... just looking at this mornings papers the adverts continue, in one road yesterday I saw 4 billboards in a row advertising how great DUB is, in fact the week Norwegian was announced DUB's marketing strategy moved from Europe to US.
