How about landing AF1 into St Angelo
Bill and Hilary Clinton flew into LDY before, on that ocassion airforce one was 757, at which time Bill Clinton was president if I remember correctly,however, most likely that this one would be as big as that or 747.
The pics of this used to be on CODA website which seems to have been overhauled and they have vanished!

I wonder how far Marine One routinely flies...would BFS to Enniskillen be more than 'routine'? A helicopter ought to do that run in about 30 minutes.

Flew Ezy last night at 7.00pm and returned this evening at 7.00pm to/from Lgw. Both flights 95%+ full. No sign on these two flights that the EI service is doing them much harm. These are flights that would have seen me use EI to Lhr previous.

Judging by caa stats EZY still doing ok on LGW although BHD to LGW also very good. Are BHD pulling pax from other London airports?
Once EZY start their extra flight to LGW in December plus their allocated seating I think they will do fine
Can anyone state how the BE flights to LGW are doing?

The CAA stats who reflect anything of the new LGW situation ex Belfast's airports given the that latest stats for CAA are for October, and EI started on 28th ex BHD!
EZY may well be increasing LGW BFS but lets not forget STN and LTN are down on frequency to as few as 3 per day. So net net I the capacity ex BFS hasn't grown, BHD up significantly but market overall not that much new capacity given
- bmi baby withdrawl
- easyJet cutbacks
- EI start of LGW
- Flybe reduction
We shall see, I feel that if EZY feel a big pinch on LGW they may well put in an appearance at BHD for LGW??

Agree that the last caa stats only cover four days and cannot be taken as a true picture. It will be better to review after Nov and Dec figures are released
Regarding LTN it was always three daily flights since they returned to BFS and the Oct figures show an increase of 1000 extra pax. Also extra Friday flight next year. When at BHD I believe it was also three daily
STN and SEN should be viewed as combined figures, since EZY moved one of their aircraft to SEN. Yes STN now 3/4 day but SEN twice daily so if combined that's an extra flight to this area of the London market
I believe that EI will do more damage to BE rather than EZY so it would be interesting if someone could throw some light of the figures

Thanks for the comment on Cardiff thread. Yes I have done mis postings myself
Yes agree DUB will always be the better airport for choice but certainly Toronto is feasible. Yes can be cheaper but if the airlines realise they can get better yields /price then new long haul a good possibility
Time will tell

From Belfast Telegraph this morning. If 10,000 additional business pax (not leisure or VFR) would this mean extra flights / destinations or just filling up the empty seats?
BELFAST travel firm has signed a deal with easyJet - one of the first of its kind in the UK - which could mean up to 10,000 additional business passengers using the airline to fly from Belfast to destinations across Europe.
