Does Anyone know what airline will be doing the SFB flights from BFS this year? And also has anyone got the dates on when they will be operating them.

Cheers BFS BHD

Doubt it. Too busy with the runway works, 50th anniversary celebrations and preperations for the G8.

With the sale of Cardiff now agreed, I wonder will Abertis offload the rest of their airport portfolio ?

If they can get someone in who will invest a bit more or at least bring in a decent business development strategy, lets hope so....

How can the airport go on with this, they must be losing money

Thats part of the problem, I don't think they are (they seem to be just trying to ride out the recession/depression)

Like I said earlier, a different style of Business Development strategy is required to flesh out the gaps. (I don't think the Harbour has it right either mind you but somewhere in between would be nice!)

The only winners at the moment are the Airlines. I think they've rarely been in a better bargaining position to deploy their aircraft.

May put this on here as well.
Jet2.com senior management have taken the difficult
decision to cease operations at Belfast International Airport from midnight
Sunday 7th April 2013. This is due to increased safety concerns during current
runway maintenance programme.

Our domestic flights operating on Monday
8th April between Belfast International and Leeds Bradford will now operate to
and from Belfast City Airport. All customers travelling on these affected
flights will be provided with coach transportation. We will make a further
announcement tomorrow regarding our international flights operating later this
week.

And you have to ask why, if there is a problem, Easyjet,TCX etc haven't raised the question. And why just the LBA flights.

During this down-time, one Jet2 aircraft has been reported as exhibiting engine-related problems on three occasions. No other airline, nor indeed any other Jet2 aircraft or aircraft of this type, has reported any similar issue. A full investigation is underway to assess what actually occurred. At this stage, there is no conclusive evidence connecting these reported problems with the runway maintenance at Belfast International Airport. Despite this, and indeed the implementation of additional precautionary measures by the airport in the meantime, the airline has decided to withdraw all flights.

Interesting reading.....Is it just one aircraft?, no issue with EZY or TCX?

Is it an excuse to move to BHD? Are the LS 737 too old?

Maybe someone at BFS can enlighten, but not good day for the management at BFS......again
