Possible second announcement due then maybe.
The two new routes are coming at the expense of others, Manchester and Birmingham see cuts, other route time changes to squeeze them in.

Air Tax to be scrapped in Republic
Concerns have been raised over the potential impact on Northern Ireland's airports of the Republic of Ireland scrapping air travel tax in its latest Budget.
The measure, which would come into force in April next year, was announced on Tuesday.
Savings can already be made for passengers flying out of Irish airports, particularly on long-haul trips to destinations including the USA.
But more people crossing the border to take advantage of the lower costs would have a negative impact on airports in Northern Ireland.

Well thats us buggered then. Zero tax from DUB how on earth can carriers compete againest that. As it is you can save hundreds by using DUB. I really fear for the impact of this on the package holiday business from BFS as wellas for longhaul connection pax ex BHD. The boys up on the hill teally need to pull a rabbit out of the hat on this one....

There would be some sort of argument here if passengers using Belfast were being asked to pay at least 19 euro per head which is charged at DUB before the 3 euro tax is added on.
The package holiday market from Belfast won't suffer at all as last summer it was cheaper to fly from Belfast on package holidays because there was so much more capacity that out of the South. Two weekly flights to Enfidha next summer a prefect example, DUB can just about support a weekly service for the peak summer. If NI scrap the tax it won't make any difference, new airlines won't flow in. One very big problem for the North is social unrest which makes news around the world every few months and of course Belfast will suffer because of it.

The current rate in the Republic is already much lower than the equivalent air passenger duty in Northern Ireland - €3 compared with £13.
According to the DUP's Mr Hamilton, the discrepancy is already unfair.
"We have made it clear to the UK Government that we regard APD as an unfair tax that disproportionately affects regions in the UK - and Northern Ireland in particular, where alternative transport options are more limited and where the option of travelling from Dublin exists," he said.
"PWC, on behalf of the major airlines, provided evidence to the Chancellor in the run up to Budget 2013 of the benefits that the abolition of this duty would bring to the whole of UK, including Northern Ireland, if it were removed."
