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.
Why?
Why?
oh why oh why?

I think this was coming more from Arlene Foster than from the airport itself based on the recent friend making exercise [read jaunt] the executive went on in the UAE

Good idea

Or they could pick up the phone and call their business development department.
I thought that web site was just a scam or a webuyanycar dot com type thing?

Not a scam at all - a very legitimate and quite useful resource for airline network planners wanting to check out possible future destinations. I have no connection to them other than as a satisfied user over several years.

Nothing but the usual rumours which I would take with a pinch of salt.

I would say September or October will be the earliest for any sort of news for Summer 2013. Any expansion over winter need to be announced soon to take advantage of forward bookings.

BFS-Lleida operated during the Winter 2011-2012 season aswell.

BFS-Enfidha will also operate from the 24-02-2013 to the 20-04-2013 and also from the 29-09-2013 to the 20-10-2013.

A330 at BFS?

Was there an A330 into BFS this morning? Or are my eyes just not what they used to be? Only seen at a distance on approach over Templepatrick at about 0930...

Saw an A330 pass low over Belfast Lough at around 4ish too. Nothing on the arrivals board at the time. Military?

A common or garden A330, or a Voyager?

easyJet Belfast Base Performance

Over the summer months the Belfast base has been recognised as number 1 in terms of OTP (on time performance) and for turnarounds. Carolyn has stated last week BFS has been consistent over the recent months coming in top of the league each week. Great achievement for the collective people involved!

But no expansion. BFS will remain 6 summer and 5 winter. That leaves no possibility for a response to EI's withdrawal. Bonus culture wins again - they're chasing short term money in favour of long term development. If anything the regions are more likely to downsize that expand.

From Easyjet's perspective the only route that will be impacted by Aer Lingus winter flying programme is BFS LGW. Why would easyJet need to add extra flights to any routes outside of London for competitive advantage? The capacity in place ex BFS last winter on competiting routes was was overlapping on AGP and ALC. They were not high frequency and there was about enough pax to fill easyJet's flights.

While easyJet have said they will step up London routes (which seemed to be a response to EI rumours) in frequency, there could still be increased by non based aircraft

I would however, expect next summer to see easyJet respond agressively on AGP and FAO routes to EI's plans.
