Good to see the big bird back again. Always makes it seem more like an airport with a jumbo.

Roll on next year for a full season.

Thanks for your reply BFS BHD. I've got PFO booked and I figured it would be 738 by the seating plan. Hopefully a new one or have they refitted the older ones??

Is all this new jet2 and ryanair routes not spelling the end for ezy, when was their last new routes, or they are maybe playing the safe card and waiting to see what fr are really up to?

easyJet commenced flights to Dubrovnik last month, going head to head with Jet2 who've been operating the route for several years, so it's not as if they're not adding new routes from Belfast. However, easyJet are no longer in expansion mode and aren't adding many new routes from any of their bases, but are instead increasing frequencies on well established routes.

Also, I don't think that Jet2 is much of a threat for easyJet, given that most of their new flights are only operated once a week, and Ryanair have mainly opened routes to airports that aren't served by easyJet from any of their bases.

A TCX A321 landed into BFS from LGW within the last half hour. I wonder is it a change over for the Belfast based A321, or is it off to Orlando?

The A321 won't be going to Orlando. Don't think it has ETOPS for a start.
