Fares higher at DUB than BHD has always will be like that, does not reflect EI services at BHD in any way, it was the same at BFS. Remenber different operating costs, competors and currency. Compare Ryanair at LDY to DUB and you will see the exact same results.
June 16-23 Palma
EZY 291 - BFS
EI 350 - BHD
that tells you nothing but media would claim that EI are doing better when that may not be the case.
Only taxes and charges to the UK is nothing new and that offer you refer to is all Irish-UK routes so also does not reflect in any way of BHD. They do this offer every few months.
True Blue If EI had stayed at Belfast there would of being major changes in terms of capacity and routes offered so which ever airprot they were/are at there was changes on the way.

TCX
Condsidering Thomas Cook are currently disposing of their Airbus A320 fleet I would only assume that TCX BFS flights would be operated by the A321 in the future!

According to the seat map on the flythomascook.com BFS will have an A321 based this winter.
The A321 has been based in BFS every summer since the Summer 2010 season and it will also be based in BFS this summer.
From Mid July to the start of September BFS will see an A320 based. The A321 will operate from STN during that period.

Jet2
Jet2 landed at eidw at 22.22. It was running more than just 10 minutes late! Why should bfs keep their short runway open for jet2? They have a perfectly serviceable runway 25 for jet2 to land on. Its good enough for all the other operators to work on. Wise up jet2.

Agreed. There is a notam that the airfield is closed to all traffic between 2200 and 2230 to facilitate setting up for the works in progress, so the airport have to stick to this. Normally 17-35 is available after 2230 for the jet2 freight movements.
Would I be right in saying that there are no jet2 freight movements on a Sunday night / Monday morning, as that would explain why the airport decided to notam 17-35 out of service as it was not required for jet2 after 2230.
The airport have a business to run at the end of the day, if the airfield is notam'd closed why would they keep it open for one late movement. It has to be reopened by 2230 or other movements will suffer.
