BFS Watcher. Good story, except that the American shareholder in BFS exited the scene over a year ago

Shoe shine, correct me if I'm wrong but are Airports Worldwide (formally ADC&HAS) not still an American company even though they are majority owned by Omers who are Canadian.

Well at nights AA don't AA run the 5 Watch system, just one working and 5 watching lol! I guess a Tower Controller can sit in Sydenham and watch the ATM just as easily.

Aer Lingus 2016 Growth

Another based aircraft:
Alicante begins 29 April 5 weekly
Faro increases from 7 to 9 weekly
Malaga increase from 7 to 9 weekly
Palma increases from 2 to 5 weekly

Puts to rest all the EI are not making money etc.....

Guess always the change it could be the LGW aircraft taking these on.

A320 will replace 319 on LHR as well.

Would that definitely mean a new based aircraft, taking it from 3 to 4? Or would the flights be done with a w pattern by a Dublin aircraft?

Alicante

Best news ever! There is 320 on LHR yesterday, it hasn't been on the route for some time, I expect 319 coming back for LHR for Winter season?

Really great news, ALC a natural next step. Extra frequency should drive competition, summer sunshine is over priced from NI, I have even heard of people going from here to EDI and onto ALC to save money recently! That puts the DUB situation into perspective.

Certainly going to be some cheap sunshine flights next year. With EI announcement plus FAO back again from LDY and Jet2 increased services to PMI and FAO its going to be interesting

I believe the A319s will begin leaving the fleet shortly anyway so LHR will likely become a mix of A319/A320 until reverting completely to A320 at the start of the summer schedule.

Never mind parking the aircraft, where will all the extra passengers park as well? I have heard on the grapevine that FlyBe are parking a spare airframe over the winter as well to use on that rare occasion when something goes tech.

Parking

Surely they must be looking at building new stands if not planning on remote parked turns. Won't be long until BHD becomes a slot coordinated airport as it must be a stand planning nightmare as they really have so much to pack in between 0630 and 2130

I believe Dash can park at the old terminal and paxs coached the a/c and also 1 airbus i.e. EI FAO can park in an area of the old terminal that has had the ramp area strengthened again coaching paxs to a/c.
They should also invest in a taxiway way towards the lough to save on back tracking.
