My recent source has told me that aer arann/ aer lingus regional has put BFS and southend on hold for the moment.
If ei are canceling Rome and gran canaria this may leave room for a new regional route, I do remember someone saying a while back that there is currently a few spare slots in the BFS schedule so if you include this along with the cancelled routes there is definite space for regional flights I doubt they would launch a new summer route now. So fingers crossed for regional routes!

Morning all,
Does anybody know what the story is with EZY 9005 arriving at 1120 from East Midlands, I also see that the Morning flight to Manchester was diverted... at a guess it must have diverted to EMA and is now due in at 1120 to BFS.
Anybody know what is going on with this? Lots of other flights were arriving around the time of EZY scheduled arrival time @ MAN so it wouldn't seem to be the weather.

I do hope your right as there has been speculation for a very long time about it, but I am very surprised at monarch, they would need to start different routes to survive in Belfast rather than the same old sun routes
, BHD2BFS, Aer Lingus regional are really close in closing the deal. I'm getting the times and when it will start soon.

Monarch will be operating some of the BFS/SFB flights this summer on behalf of Thomas Cook using A330 Aircraft. I think its 3 or 4 flights on a friday.
They will also be operating the BFS/FNC Charters again for Atlantic Holidays on a Monday Morning.

All I can say is that MON have been in close talks with BFS about basing an A321 for LCA, DLM, BOD, TFS, ACE, LPA, PMI, AGP. They are also hoping to secure a contract for SFB on a W rotation all summer ex BHX from Summer 2013.

Seems very odd for Monarch as they pulled out of dub and have stated that they are moving away from the i.t. business. Surely by this stage holiday companies have signed up with airlines.

Canada back on the radar, as per the airport website. Now with long-haul tax in parity with short-haul, this may be more likely. Airport works to restore direct Toronto link - Belfast International Airport
Belfast International Airport has said that Northern Ireland tourism is losing out because it no longer has direct air links with Canada.
BIA Business Development Director, Uel Hoey, told a major Ireland-Canada conference that when the Belfast-Toronto link was in operation, tens of thousands of Canadian tourists flooded into the Province.
Strong family and cultural links with Canada, and Ontario in particular, formed the bedrock of the service but the link has become dormant in the last two years with the demise of two airlines. Efforts continue to secure another carrier to take over the Belfast route.
