Verona charters
Looks like Topflight is using Ernest Airlines instead of Meridiana this year for the Verona flights.
Arrives 13:25 and departs 14:05.
TUI still shows Meridiana flying for them.

Belfast International Airport role in DUP event 'raises questions' - BBC News
Just back from a few travels and this caught my eye, I'm sure I have seen another article linking Mr Keddie to a NI tourist board post.
Don't see much fuss being made of this by pruners yet a few individuals were almost apoplectic when a certain Harbour airport was allegedly too close to some politicians and Mr A was involved in the tourist board? :roll eyes:
Double standards anyone? Maybe they have missed the Outrage Bus this time round? Never mind I'm sure there'll be another one soon!

CAA January Stats
BFS handled 364,465 passengers in January 2018, a 3.9% decrease on 2017. This is almost exclusively due to a 30,000 drop in passengers using BFS-LGW following Ryanair's exit from the route.
Domestic Routes;
Half of domestic routes experienced a fall in passengers in January; EDI (-3%), GLA (-5%), LGW (-38%), LPL (-4%), MAN (-4%).
The other half saw an increase in passenger numbers; BHX (+1%), BRS (+1%), LTN (+16%), NCL (+4%), STN (+16%)
International Routes;
January was a very good month for international passenger numbers, with several routes exhibiting double-digit growth.
SXF saw the largest fall in passenger numbers (-23%), though this is due to Ryanair reducing the frequency from x3 to x2 weekly. This move has seen the load factor on the route jump 10% to 85%.
Ski travellers to the Alps opted for GVA (+5%) over LYS (-12%), but ski passenger numbers increased overall.
There was impressive growth on sun routes; ACE (+15%), AGP (+6%), ALC (+8%), FAO (+41%), TFS (+7%).
Eastern European routes in general did well in January. Wizz Air saw a 3% increase in passengers to VNO, representing a 90% load factor. Ryanair also saw growth on their routes; GDN (+22%), WMI (+4%), WRO (+8%). KRK on the other hand saw a 5% drop in passenger numbers despite Wizz Air cancelling their route to nearby KTW. Despite this, the route still had an average load factor of 93% between easyJet and Ryanair.
easyJet saw impressive growth on their route to AMS (+17%), and Ryanair saw a 6% increase in passenger numbers to BGY. In addition, Ryanair's new route to MLA saw 2,455 passengers in January, which gives a 72% load factor.
Norwegian carried 2,317 passengers on BFS-SWF, averaging 129 passengers and a 68% load factor (10% lower than EDI-SWF). Interestingly, when United operated BFS-EWR, they had an average January load factor of 69% (116 pax).

Wouldn't this allow for the second daily BFS-MAN flight to be operated without having to base a third aircraft?

I've looked at the schedules and I can confirm that the new schedule means there is no need for a third aircraft.
Aircraft 1 operates the first two STN flights, and then ALC/AGP.
Aircraft 2 operates MAN, then BGY/SXF/WRO, followed by the second MAN flight and the third STN flight.

BFS isn't bookable from LGW during W18, but the other four destinations are, so I think it's a mistake. Plus, when Ryanair launched their winter schedule from BFS a few weeks ago, they made a point of noting that London flights would just be to STN. The London press release also doesn't state that BFS is returning as a destination from LGW but did so about the return of EDI from STN which was also cancelled for W17. If LGW was to return however, it would require a third based aircraft at BFS given that LGW isn't a Ryanair base.
