BELFAST AIRPORT INTERNATIONAL

[CARNMANORLAD]

I would say it as went tec

Great start to the season, especially with the 1st flights to ACE for both BFS & LDY today, suppose it happens!

[BFS BHD]

Now got his clearance to ACE. Should be on the move very soon.

[GAZMO]

With BE withdrawal from the LGW market will EZY up their frequency to six flights on the busier days

[elle may clampit]

Certainly ought to be an option to ezy to up frequency on BFS - LGW to 6 daily - with a new pool of slots to play with in Gatwick.

BA LHR is still the biggest Belfast - London route in terms of six daily frequency, but if anybody has an appropriate presence at another London airport to provide a genuinely competing business alternative to BA, surely it must be Ezy on BFS - LGW?

[BFS BHD]

Re-surfacing near done!

Looks like the works on the runway are near done with only a few Hundred meters to go!

How often will the TCX B757 be at BFS ?

[BFS BHD]

I no their B753 will be operating into BFS from Palma every week (GLA-PMI-BFS-PMI-GLA). Not sure of any others that will be in

[BFS BHD]

Corsairfly B744

Just took off from BFS as CRL 831. It came in last night from hangover as CRL830 F-GTUI as a troop flight.

[EI-BUD]

I noticed Jet2 departure from what looked like leaving the main runway this evening at BFS... have they kissed and made up with BFS management, now they must feel the runway is 'safe'??

[GAZMO]

EI BUD likewise whilst waiting for a friend to arrive last week also noticed LS taking off main runway towards Lough Neagh, most likely their LBA flight

[BFS BHD]

Been using the main runway for a couple of weeks now

[GAZMO]

First TOM flight to Sharm today. Wonder how popular it will be?

Also notice another flight in from Vienna. I have seen a few OS flights recently from Vienna. Is this going to be more regular or just one off charters?

The Vienna flight will be a regular charter service until June. An Austrian tour operator has organised them. They have also organised a weekly flight to Dublin. Austrian Airlines will operate both of them.

First TOM flight to Sharm today. Wonder how popular it will be?

It should be popular. Thomson are bringing it back for Summer 2014 so it must be proving popular for this Summer season.

[True Blue]

Regarding the issue LS had with the runway. The last few times I have arrived at Bfs I noticed a couple of 737-300?'s sitting in TNT colours. I assume it is another operator not TNT themselves. Did they have any problems with the runway?

[eastern wiseguy]

True Blue....no. Jet 2 were alone in their concerns.
