I see LS has released Murcia for S14, 2 flights a week. What has gone wrong on that route, not that many years back it was daily, almost daily and they used to have a 757 on it? Why the large cut back in capacity?

I was thinking on the topic of further route expansion from Bfs and wondering if between Ezy and LS, we are at a stalemate at the moment. Any new routes are going to have to be somewhere like Turkey, yet I see neither being able to do that without adding an extra unit or dropping some of what they have. But is there the demand to keep an extra unit busy all week? I know that they could bring in an aircraft for part of a week, but do they need to do that if they can keep it profitability employed elsewhere? They could do a W from elsewhere, but again, do they need to do that? Just not sure where further route expansion will come from at the minute. Turkey seems like an opportunity, yet Thomson are dropping Bodrum and Tcx will be down to one a week next summer. Not that long ago, we had about 5 flights a week to Bodrum. Izmir has gone as well. Ayt and Dlm seem to be stable.

Jet2 would be able to operate new routes from BFS without adding an additional aircraft to its BFS base.
I have looked at the schedule for Belfast for Summer 2014. I have come across six gaps in the schedule. The gaps are Mon, Tues, Wed, Thu, Fri & Sat afternoon. So there is room to add flights from BFS to say Turkey or even a Greek Island.
Here is the Summer 2014 schedule for Belfast Int'l so far. This is based on July 2014:
Sunday

Jersey and Blackpool are normally covered by BKL based aircraft.
LS have probably found ALC as being more popular than Murcia. Hopefully the gaps will be filled by new destinations soon

Jet2's Belfast - Jersey route is actually operated by Leeds based Boeing 737-300 aircraft on W-Legs. The 2x Belfast based aircraft also operate some of the Leeds flights that are going to be axed at the end of this month, so some gaps are going to appear in the schedule.
The latest rumour I've heard is that jet2 are going to require a 3rd based aircraft at Belfast next year due to picking up the London Stansted overnight Royal Mail work. I was told that the flights will be operated by closing the Exeter base and moving the freighter, Boeing 737-300F, G-CELW to Belfast...

C-FYUH is in TUIFly colours. It has the Sunwing Logos & decals instead of the TUIFly logo's and decals.

Just noticing tonight that with 17 in use all arriving a/c are going into the hold. Is there a set procedure that dictates that only one a/c can be released from hold to approach at a time?
I'm guessing that the required backtrack would lead to the requirement for further spacing.

Noticed the above heap of scrap at DUB since Tuesday, being announced we will be waiting at least 6 hours to depart due to technical problems, It should of being left in Belfast or sent to the scrap yard.
In response to the fiasco of the 2 day late ACE flight a couple of weeks back, somebody noted over on the Thomson thread that Belfast is a more important market to them than DUB. The ensuing reshuffle of aircraft reflected this and maybe that's why the 'heap of scrap' ended up down there.
