GAZMO,
Bergamo starts again 21 December, back to twice weekly in January 2020. Perhaps cutting out the very low demand period, until the ski season gets going.
I wonder is NI really that seasonal, that FR could have a good programme during the summer, like Jet2, but cut back to the bones during the winter. Will be interesting to see if these cuts to winter 19/20 carry on into Summer 20. The Polish route cuts are interesting however, as you would expect with VFR traffic, demand would be fairly steady year round.

Are Ryanair for pulling out of BFS or just playing silly games with BFS to try and get a better deal?
Looks like EZY have pshed them off the LGW route and looks like STN now. Will MAN be next
As a customer I would be worried about booking with them!

I do have to wonder about the thinking behind running two flights a week to the likes of Stansted. Is it just to keep the aircraft busy when it might otherwise be sitting idle? Anyway, we have had a flight to Stn cancelled, it was to connect to another flight. Second time this has happened, the other time was Lgw, so I will avoid like the plague in the future. All is not right with this crowd.

Ezy
Easyjet have previously said they are unable to expand at bfs due to it currently at max capacity
with the reduction in FR does this mean they can once again look at expanding?

Also worth bearing in mind FR was flying PAX on £9.99 fares, you can make a demand out of thin air try sustaining it is another thing.
