BA.COM not offering connections on Ex BMI flights

Just browing for some flights in Sept.
Noticed that BA.COM only offering Belfast connecting flights on IE or BE.
The ex BMI flights are indeed loaded.
Which leads to the strange situation that IE operated flights are only sold with a connection, but BD operated flights are only sold separately.
??

CaptJ it is simply because BD are operated as a flight to LHR or connection, why would BA sell EI as a flight to LHR when they could sell you a seat on their own aircraft. Same goes for a flight on VS I can buy a flight from BHD-MCO via LGW but I can't buy a flight from BHD-LGW on VS website. Correct me if I have misunderstood you

CAA Stats

There would appear to be no stats for Belfast City for European Routes for June. Amsterdam, Faro, Malaga, Alicante, Geneva, not only no numbers but no entry exists awaiting detail!

Southend Belfast International did 8945 for month 1, that would be approx 80 passengers per flight, not bad for a brand new route to a new destination. Weekend flights seem to do well and mid week loads often very soft, but it is early days!

BA Cityflyer - from BHD into LHR
I believe this is not permitted under current agreements with the unions. In that sense they are not welcome at LHR.

You've misread that.

BA.COM is ONLY offering connecting flights from Belfast on IE or BE.

ex BMI flights are NOT presently being offered as connections.

panpanpan The Tele often dont put the front page story on their web site for some reason. Also they tend to side with BFS a bit. Which I will not say anymore for legal reasons. But yes SIX a day. IF EI come then TEN a day.

Jonnyc they say they will only operate the LHR, although it would be nice I really can't see BA or anyone else fly to LCY.

BA BELFAST

When does this British Airways service start?
Will it be in their aircraft, replacing the entire BD operation?

BBC News - Empey seeks guarantee on Heathrow airline slots

When you dont need the locals to vote for you anymore and you want a short taxi ride home.

BMI/BA and fast track

Now that you can only book basic tickets on ba.com for BHD-LHR flights I assume that only FFP members will be able to use fast track. Will BA silver and gold card holders ( and perhaps OW sapphire and emerald) card holders be able to use the channel or just BD*G and BD*S?

And richer pickings to be had from EMA where there will be no competition. Could anyone tell me the current aircraft mix they operate on the BHX route, I'm assuming it will upgrade to all E195 after 10th June.

airport66

When Easyjet start flying from BFS to BHX that will certainly take a lot of pax from them BHX to BHD flights so a few flights may well change back to the dash aircraft.

Lufthansa Regional?

Sorry if this is irrelevant, but yesterday (15th) bhd was showing a lufthansa regional arrival around 11.00am- meant to post the details on here at the time. Could this have been a lufthansa big wig coming to meet with Mr B.A/ charter/ or diversion? Anyone know?

CL1463 was Cello Aviation bringing in Man Utd not Lufthansa Regional. Easy mistake to make.
