Just wondering how many of those 4 EI divs could BHD take, or would they still go up to the Int'l in such a case? Suppose if Menzies will handle them there then either is an option (nightime hours permitting)
I don't think that Belfast Management would say no to the extra revenue from diversions from EI regardless of the move and if they did then it raises questions what sort of brain dead people are running the airport....
I have never seen a forum to be so annoyed about a EI move to another airport. It happens all the time and I don't see why people are up on arms about it. Build a Bridge and get over it or you could just get a life.

Car Parking safe and secure?
I wouldn't leave any car for a fortnight but for a weekend away it is fine. I have had no problems. Perversely, over the years, when I have had one or two incidents of damage (Not @ BHD) but it has always been when I have been driving something more unusual.

Flew out of BHD last Friday early afternoon, returned last Sunday evening. Car parking booked on-line in long stay. £15 all in. I say can't be bad to that!!
All in all a pleasant experience through BHD again!!

I would like to think they would, would give a great choice. Plus there was a report about it on the news so there must be some substance.
I personally am interested in seeing what ezy and jet2 launch for S13 aswell as any airlines BFS has managed to get to replace EI i really hope the Virgin rumor to MCO is true. am I right in thinking next summers schedule is launched in sept?

It might possibly work if they were to base an aircraft and compete with UA on New York, and add in a weekly Toronto also. But I can't see a single rotation to MCO working.

VS MCO
Seems to work from GLA! A weekly A330 positioning up from LGW/MAN operating MCO in the summer would probably do quite well although I think the 2 class ones will be changed to 3 class eventually and assuming they even stay in the 'leisure fleet' does BFS have enough premium demand to fill ~14 upper class seats along with ~50 PE?

Might be worth nothing at Aer Lingus have reduced there DUB-MCO route from 3 weekly in summer 2011 to 2 weekly this summer and the same is planned for 2013.
Virgins B747's:
367 Seats (44J, 62W, 261Y)
451 Seats (14J, 58W, 379Y)
455 Seats (14J, 66W, 375Y)
Filling a 747 weekly is a big ask and filling it and not making a loss on it is even more important.
Almost certain that its 2 flights per day with the majority of routes 1 weekly apart from Palma which is 2 or 3 weekly.
Would imagine TCK are more less the same if they have only one aircraft based.

Couldnt Virgin do what Thomas Cook, Zoom and Globespan did, and operate the service from mainland UK, with a stop at Belfast in each direction. Much easier to get a full flight that way, and easier to sustain flights all through the summer season, or even year round?

i've not heard of any such requirement, unless its a new thing??
Zoom, Globespan and Thomas Cook never had to do that in my day, passengers stayed onboard. I've only ever had to do it once, in Manchester, but the plane was getting cleaned before continuing to where i needed to get to.
This would only be a requirement if Virgin, or any other airline were to sell domestic seats on the Belfast- Glasgow/Manchester/London/Wherever sectors, something that not many airlines do over here.

All transit passengers must now clear Immigration on the 1st point of entry into the UK as requested by UKBA. Airlines must also apply in advance for multi sector clearance in order to operate such transit flights.
It's been in operation for over a year now. Causes alot of hassel for the passengers who are transiting and aswell as for the staff on the ground.
This only effects flights operating inbound to the UK.
