Or its just a case of the flights have not been anounced yet and the paper got a standard response from KLM?

some snow and they.cant cope

As is now routine, some bad weather and everything grinds to a halt.
Same as last time. BFS making a better fist of it, just like last time as well.

At Heathrow this morning, if I had a pound for everytime I heard "i wish Aer Lingus had never moved to the City" I would be a rich man.

Wish EI were still at BFS
Agree BFS appear to be getting flights away, naturally with delays and only one cancellation so far, MAN. Also they took two BE diversions as well

Maybe BA might consider moving up the road

Isn't EI starting Faro a week earlier than planned? That's not the standard flight number and it's scheduled to be an A319 as the A320s won't arrive until next week.

You will be pleased to know that pax numbers on FAO, AGP and PMI are looking good over the next while, of course Easter holidays will help.

There has being no change in the market recently as EZY have not added anything for the summer and Jet 2 have only took routes that EI have dropped.

I see the game between Northern Ireland and Russia at Windsor Park Belfast has been called off. Would never've happened had Windsor Park been near Crumlin...

Only 1x EZY to MAN & STN cancelled. Yes there are delays but otherwise BFS is still operating as normal.

Just the usual crap about if only airlines hadn`t changed to Belfast City then everything would be wonderful. Maybe, just maybe the snow was worse in the city than at Aldergrove? I have traveled west of Lough Neagh today and not a flake in sight.

A quick browse across the days time scale would suggest otherwise

Bongoo, please dont let the facts get in the way of a spotters spin on things! That graphic certainly explains why I escaped any snow today and it also shows the City getting a pasting.

My knowledge of snow clearing is limited but I`m guessing City were fighting a losing battle without any real break to get a proper clearance?

Aye pretty much Pan, if it snows hard enough, there is little anyone can do until it stops.
