Very strange story to publish when infact the pax who were impacted the most were the EI, operated by ASL airlines did not land into BFS until 04.30 this morning when they should have landed at Harbour 8 hours previous the evening before. Selective journalism I suppose.

You mean the media in Belfast would emphasise a 'delay' relating to a BFS plane rather than one from BHD, and wouldn't even mention that the BHD plane was able to land in BFS eventually to get the people on the right island when BHD was under curfew? (Sorry I can't find a fake shock emoji)

EI delay was French ATC well publicized in the media. The performance by Easyjet was a complete disaster, surly a reshuffle of ops should have been possible? Yes they were also likely heavily impacted by ATC as well but I guess it comes down to how you manage it.

At least EasyJet tried to run a full schedule rather than just cancelling a lot of flights......more worrying for the Shamrock was only 61 passengers on that flight!

very smart, they can reshuffle flights to suit bfs customers only, wise up, sure they will make sure there's no accidents on the roads too.

Well the fuel pump fault was not at the airport, fuel was only restricted but I guess BFS isn't busy enough to ever run short.
BFS have sat back and watch the security mess created over 6 months
Everybody tries to run a full schedule but its not possible.
You need to wise up and understand that operations have to adjust schedules regularly to fit around disruption.

My pal sent pics from security on Monday morning - including the queue to reach security. It was not good and BFS needs to sort this.
I definitely won't be using the airport on my next trip to my home city. BHD was a breeze.

It is quite a pain. I fly out of BFS twice a month on Domestic flights. I live an hours drive away so i'm not looking forward to having to arrive at the airport 2 hours before my flight just because they can't sort out their security.
If it continues I'll look at flying from an alternative airport to avoid this.
Arrival time should also be predictable i.e Domestic, one hour, Long Haul 2-3 hours.

And 4 million in 2014. And if we were not obsessed about not checking in a bag, there would be less delay at security. The airlines are to thank for that. Security delays are the result of a whole series of actions, not just down to the failure of the airport.

quite right blue, if all these people look at the extra ballage cart at the front of the aircraft for all the extra bags, dont think the airlines are contributing to the extra security to screen their extra bags or the ramp staff to cope with the extra workloads, cough up LCC's
