German route !
There will be no German route from BHD this year.
But BFS are looking for a NEW airline to do Germany they are also looking for NEW airline'S' to do Canada and Scandinavia ,
Quote from BFS website-http://www.belfastairport.com/en/news/8/125/airport-tells-government-not-%E2%80%98to-sell-us-short%E2%80%99.html
''Belfast International called for a Strategy to open up markets to Canada, Germany and Scandinavia served directly from the airport. An all-out effort to attract new international carriers with the help of a properly resourced Air network Development Scheme was also urgently required.''

Hardly radical. Has any other company asked for a new 20mile road or train link in NI? or ........ ?

Contact at BHD said that a team from Germanwings were over last week talking to airport management, and that MO'L was also having meetings with the airport. Can anyone confirm, or have further details... Think Germanwings would be an excellent option reinstating a direct NI Germany scheduled service. But an FR return, oh good God, please no!!

Well bmi baby's BHD AMS drops to 4 weekly from next week and loads seem to be improving nicely a few flights now seeing over 130 paxs and most in the 70 & 80s so they seem to be turning the route around at least in terms of numbers which is always the start point.
I heard mention yesterday of a possible 3 rd night stop aircraft this coming winter and also a few extra med flights on odd days this Summer apparently some routes are all but sold out.
Just need to see the ownership issue resolved now, can't be long but how many time have we said that!!!

I think this has been brought up before, but what are the chances that the new owner of baby would move back to BFS? Surely a new owner would soon want to replace the old 300's but anything bigger than this couldnt fly from bhd and I'm sure that BFS wouldn't mind negotiating with new people behind baby. Only a thought so don't shoot me down

I would say in a few years time if the industry improves and hasn't been taxed to death anymore than it already is then they will submit an updated plan. The best plan at the minute is to focus on other needed infrastructure especially when you have an operator who can fly the sun routes without needing a longer runway

Quote from latest iag press release-
"We have already announced that British Airways will re-start flights from Belfast to Heathrow, maintaining important economic links."
Which Belfast? And what happens to bmi?
