Going by the style of writing and the wording used, I am becoming more and more convinced that a few individuals on here have more than one callsign. Any ideas Eastern???

Eastern?? Can't see them coming to BFS
Still think opportunity for LS to expand
also BE could move non competive routes eg SOU EXE CWL to BFS
Keeping wondering if management at BFS are going to do anything about new operator to LHR
Maybe they will offer BA zero cost and even if they don't accept it could drive down the costs on the BHD to LHR route?

With the recent partnership between the Thomas Cook group and easyJet, would seem that this has changed the BFS schedule somewhat. A very quick look shows Thomas Cook / Airtours now offering packages to Malta, flights to AGP and FAO using EZY. Also some PMI flights using EZY.
Haven't had a thorough look, though will this mean an overall increase in the Thomas Cook operation from Belfast, with the based unit and now additional EZY capacity??

I would nearly put money on there being more than 6 A/C based next year for summer, especially with the TCX deal.. unless another airline(s) jump in

The flight in question actually diverted to BHD and has just departed BHD for Dublin - not sure of the reason for the diversion.

Maybe a little more....losing 35EI weekly flights but gaining 20 from EZY and LS and with another 5EZY flights to LGW in December. It could be status quo between BFS and BHD depending on the change in passengers on LGW, EDI, MAN and BHX flights by EZY

The only main loss really from EI is LHR. BHX/SEN will probably make up the loss of them passengers. And LS/TCX will cover the Winter demand for the Canaries.
But this continuing rise in passenger numbers this year, surely EZY & LS will be looking to expand ? Hopefully LS will start East Midlands next year and it would be great to see Rome, Milan, Madrid and Berlin back next year too.

Agree
As posted by tigger TCX using EZY next summer out of BFS there is a great opportunity for LS and EZY to increase their presence.
LS as long as they do a combination of key cities plus the bucket and spade routes
Interesting to see if SEN grows. I was a little disappointed at the figures in Sept after a fantastic August. I think the difficulty is in pax getting to the airport for the 7am BFS flight since the first train to SEN arrives at6.01 am....somewhat tight for a 7am flight. Maybe with the winter start of 7.15am it might help numbers

Over the last 2 years the only airlines to expand at BFS has been EZY who has added 4 routes SEN MAN BHX and Malta. LS has also added 4 Alicante Lanzarote Tenerife and Reus
EI has been slowly reducing destinations over the years and size of aircraft, at the end of the day EI isn't necessarily a major loss for BFS apart from LHR
I am quite disappointed management have not been able to find a replacement airline such as MON

Interesting comments by sammy Wilson regarding APD on BBC website
Looks like no reduction in the near future for short haul flights.....a little short sighted I believe, surely loosing some money from NI block grant will boost tourism and business
