Looks like Ryanair is adding extra flights to Manchester in September and October this year making it 11 weekly for them two months.
Extra flights are on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday starting from 1st September. Flight times are loaded into the Ryanair App but not able to book yet.
Still going two daily for Winter 2018/19 season.
Would be good to see East Midlands added by Ryanair at some stage too!

The drop off fee is by in large a UK airport rip off charge. Airports should be in a position to provide the basic infrastructure for dropping off people.
daa sell water for 1 euro, you make out that Belfast is cheap for such drinks when its not nor should it be.

Did Easyjet serve PRG before or was it just EI/LS?
All that said the £1 argument gets blown out of the water the minute you buy a pint or a coffee in DUB.

No its not particularly cheap there either but the point I'm making is the £1 set down charge saved by using DUB dissappears the minute you buy anything. Charging for this, much as I don't like it myself is standard and in fact more expensive than this in many other UK airports. And water is around the £1 a bottle mark in BFS.

So we’re having a debate about a £1 drop-off fee levied by a private airport company in line with standard airport practice across the country which, unlike in other similar airports, has never been increased since introduction.
Meanwhile, for the last fifteen years, since the Belfast - Dublin road was upgraded and paid for by EU funds, a toll of almost twice as much has been collected and pocketed against every vehicle making the journey south to Dublin Airport by the RoI authorities.
But apparently that’s fine and not even worthy of mention.
Couldn’t make it up....

Belfast CAN support transatlantic, Shannon (an airport with 1.7m pax last yr) has 6 tatl airlines with flights to JFK,EWR,BOS,SWF,PVD,YYZ,PHL. The airport serves the 4th largest city on the island. Shannon is 2h20 from dublin (according to google). Belfast is 2h according to google. The distance from dublin cannot be used as an excuse imo. Maybe shannon is being milked by the irish government (feel free to correct me ) but SURELY an airline serving shannon could see that if it works from shannon, it could work from Belfast (2nd largest city on the island)
