Enniskillen / St Angelo and Newtownards both still have public transport airfield licenses ( pre-requisite for charter ops ) but fire cover is the main restriction.
St Angelo is Cat 1 but can arrange Cat 3* on prior request. Ards is, as far as I know, Cat 1 but has had on-site cover from International for special events.
Of course, pre-war Newtownards used to be the airport for Belfast and the DH.89s would approach up the Lough dragging their radio antenna above the water as a proto-GPWS
Unfortunately the water often continued up and over the runway.
* up to about Do-228 Srs 200 size

Hardly surprising if SSH were to disappear in the circumstances for summer 16.
TOM dropped Las Palmas for a new Rhodes next summer. Sensible thing to do probably to reinstate the LPA instead of the Sharm?

Olympic holidays are not doing Rhodes,Corfu,Crete in 2016,they will just be doing Cyprus and Corfu using seat allocations on Thomson and Thomascook,reason Aegean have no spare aircraft to operate the flights.
You know pilots. Do you reckon they need to train landing and taking off to keep current every now and again? Or, do you know aeroplanes. Do you reckon they need to be flown every now and again to make sure they're all good?
Come on guys. It's clearly a training and/or tech flight. Thankfully there's plenty of space between movements at BFS to facilitate this.
