Why should they offer compensation? It's not their fault a fire started in the terminal. It seems to me that this would be more likely a case for the travel insurers.

When will our MLA's realise that APD is costing our Belfast airports jobs and loosing business in the Hospitality and Tourism area
The number of Northern Ireland residents using Dublin Airport increased by more than 50 per cent (52 per cent) to a record 864,000 last year. - Source NI Travel News

DAA to buy BHD?
There has been a rumour floating around that DAA will buy BHD, I wonder if this stuff is all tied around this and driving the price of BHD down, then destroy BFS and hey presto market dominance for DAA
The DAA are making good money in DUB, but they are ROI state owned company, would that kind of political hot potato be palatable on both sides of the border?
Also, with them owning/running ORK, there'd be all kinds of competition questions to be answered. SNN is still government owned too. That would leave BFS and NOC as the only reasonably well connected non ROI state owned airports on the island. Controversial no?

More bleak news for those hoping for a middle east connection from BFS
BBC News NI business reporter Julian O'Neill tweets: Northern Ireland wants a Middle East direct flight. The reality - Emirates is about to appoint a representative in Northern Ireland but to drum up business for its Dubai flight from Dublin.

Completely plausible that DAA could purchase BHD if it was for sale. However, the same challenges apply to our great little local airport, including cap on seats, curfew, short runway etc. Has to be said despite these challenges the airport punches way above its weight and I find it an absolute pleasure to use.
DAA would bring valuable support to the table and given a competitor up the road at BFS, there is no chance that purchasing BHD would be a move to neutralise a competitor...

DAA is state owned. It won't be buying any airport in NI.
The DAA are making good money in DUB, but they are ROI state owned company, would that kind of political hot potato be palatable on both sides of the border?
Precedent set?
10 years from now.....proposed rail link to DUB gets built, parallel runway is live and BHD is protected by having the same owner who can cut down costs by merging various admin and training costs, negotiate cheaper contracts due to it's size, get cheaper ground equipment (snow ploughs, fire engines etc.) due to ordering in greater numbers for 3 airports....highly unlikely but a frightening proposition for management at BFS I'm sure.
Still, as I said, highly unlikely in my opinion.

Just like the NI state owned bus service delivering passengers direct to Dublin Airport. You cannot make this stuff up! I suppose the boys up on the Hill get their cheque from Westeminster every month so they dont care.

Una Due tfc,
This is exactly what crossed my mind, being part of the DAA would bring synergies, also potential of a deal with Ryanair, though obvious challenges as before... Runway etc.
Could also help underpin Aer Lingus future at the airport.
