I dont understand that. A major mainline carrier affiliate with significant connection opportunities vs a P2P low cost carrier at BFS. I would have thought they would have been both nice to have and appeal to different markets. Use it or lose it
and Belfast as a whole lost it.

So it failed at Belfast s favourite airport. It hasent at Northern Irelands favourite airport though. Just a thought. Btw,the amount of landing cards I gave out on the AMS-BFS when operating was always double figures. That's a point to point route also.

And what has that comment got to do with BFS BHD s question. If referring to the previous post, then it confirms that Belfast/Northern Ireland does not need two airports in close proximity. You can also discount the vanity project called Londonderry/Derry airport. That needs shutting down and the funding returned to the tax payers.

Don't think anyone would be affected Pan. Not with the low loads lad. It's not like they employed 39 people to check in and dispatch a 3 weekly service that hardly anyone took advantage of.

Callum, I totally agree with your thoughts. It would not have been a success no matter which airport it operated from. Fares too high, EZY and Norwegian. All against it. Another vanity project from Brian and Katy. Wasent the best though.

Probably brought it on themselves by flying to the likes of Belfast and Aberdeen. Icelandair on board is horrific and had the displeasure to fly twice on an I'D90. For most of you spotters on here, it's a staff standby ticket available to airline staff so most of you on here would never get one.
