i must admit i do think there is something fishing go on,
am i right in thinking that LS are leasing A320's for S2013? would this allow them to fly their network from BHD
however if they were going to move, i think this is the wrong time to be doing it as summer is approaching and many holiday makers will have arrangements made reg car parking etc
it may just be Jet2 up to their work and show BFS management that they can as quickly as other airlines and flee to BHD and are looking to cut a better deal with BFS
im sure all will be in press pretty soon though

Jet2 may be playing the game and have ulterior motives but its likely to be a storm in a teacup, they have stated these are temporary measures and will be in place until they are sure of safety. People tend to jump to conclusions. After all the runway works will end in time and therefore cannot be used as a reason for moving bases, unless they drag on for too long in their opinion.

Interesting that Flybe seem to be doing well on the Belfast City to Leeds route recently adding a 4th daily rotation. I am sure that has nothing to do with the recent Jet2 decision to temporarily move their Leeds route to BHD.
I think I need a break, as I do not want to become as cynical as some on here!!!

You are correct that the Royal Mail contract can't be operated from the city, but with the announcement as to who won the contract due within the next 10 days or so that might not be an issue for Jet 2!

CoD will be delighted with Jet2 operating from their airport. Will the service be direct or will it require a fuel stop, I know Aer Lingus often did on the way back, althought they used the Airbus?
Everyone needs to be cautious about what they are saying regarding the Jet2/Aldergrove situation in case this ends up in a court.

Update re; Flights scheduled to operate from Belfast International from Wednesday 10th April 2013
Following our decision to temporarily suspend operations at Belfast International Airport, due to safety concerns during the current maintenance programme on the main runway, we have today come to an agreement with the airport that we will now operate all our flights using the alternative North/South runway. This will take effect from Wednesday 10th April, until further notice. This decision follows close consultation with the airport and a detailed safety assessment conducted today. All our customers due to travel from Belfast International this week should go to the airport as normal.
We would like to apologise for the inconvenience this has caused however the safety of our customers is of paramount importance and we will not operate from Belfast International Airport’s main runway until the resurfacing has finished.
Such a simple solution, was it not ?

Last week Jet2 had 3 based aircrafts one Holiday scheme one (not the broken one), a Jet.com scheme and a Jet2 with a green tail scheme. One on stand 27, 28 & 29.
Broke one is on stand 11 on the east apron.

A 62m difference in favour of BFS's runway, maybe just maybe with a push. No mention of anything other than ops from BFS on the Jet2 website so im assuming after a day of discussions they have worked out it is actually suitable. Another Abertis run airport, another catastrophe.
Just to put things into perspective, as petty as it may sound they are such a poorly run outfit (Abertis) that CWL's terminal exterior had not been cleaned since 2007, over 6 years ! The government bought the airport and within what i made 2 hours of the announcement, the cleaners were brought in and made it look brand new. How hard and costly was that ey ?
Im actually glad to hear that Abertis are to sell the majority of their airports division, with what iv seen firsthand at CWL and heard from their other airports, its just a shambolic toll road company that tried their hand at airports and by large failed. Even the FM of Wales ran them down.

Looks like Jet2 will resume normal service from Belfast Int'l tomorrow.
