Just checked the website and EIN is at its limit at BHD of a estimated at 23:59 looks like its going to go to BFS or DUB. Also BE428 is estimated at 23:30 so it may go to BFS too.

With BE announcing 300job to go, will there be any reductions in services from BHD?
MAN and LBA look strong, cant see any reduction on these routes, but weakness maybe on EMA and BHX?
Any inside information welcome

From the other threads and news media, I would say the vulnerable routes would be Cardiff, Newcastle and potentially Gatwick. Hopefully none of these routes will be pulled, esp Gatwick. Fingers crossed we get off lightly...
Think it was the bbc local news on their website stating 15 job losses at BHD. Whether accurate or not, unsure. On reading other articles, would appear to be more head office, support jobs, but rumours that ticket desk staff may be at risk.

Are you sure there's not like one or two? something like IOM - LPL may be something that may get chopped. BE already serve IOM - MAN at a greater frequency and now EZY serves LPL up to twice a day making them in terms of seat capacity rather close now to BE on the route.

Agree I would like to see LGW continuing as it is good for onward connections, CWL I think will still be there as no other airline operates this route, although from reading reports coming out of Wales it sounds like they may be reducing.
Newcastle figures have been disappointing so if any route is likely to be axed NCL is favourite

I think the removal of IOM-LPL could be an option since it seems a little pointless now (having said that, I am unsure on how well that particular route performs for BE) and transfer a chunk if not all operations from LGW to STN for reasons I've stated before. The latter option could certainly be an option for saving a fair bit of cash!

Why not extend city bound by two miles, then the terminal could be in the centre of Belfast therefore people could say that BHD was a city centre airport as opposed to the 17 miles up the M2 to BFS!!!!
