Belfast International-2
Don't bring politics into this aviation thread, it's unrelated, and you're bound to have a conflict with those of us are Unionists, so best to stop now. Especially after having ran down Northern Ireland, as an outsider.
Anyway. Used Aldergrove earlier today and was through security in less than five minutes. Most efficient it’s been for a while in my experience.

Don’t bring politics into it says man who brings politics into it. Also, Northern Counties, you ran down Northern Ireland. How long did it take and what route did you use?

Can you believe at the turn of the 20th century, the North was the 8th richest region per capita in the world... lol
So what? Britain powered the world at that time. Let me guess Lanarkshire was the 5th richest region.....
After leaving the UK the Republic was a poor country until it joined another empire which pumped £££££s into. So in the last 100 years, it has been successful for about 20 years.Watch what you say. Pride before a fall springs to mind.

Be careful. Northern Ireland can't be throwing stones on this subject, We live in an economic black hole.
- London government subsidies us all by nearly 6k per person per year,
- A quarter of the NI GDP is a subsidy from London!
- 30% of the workforce works for the government...

As I’ve said before BFS’ best bet going east is Turkish airlines on a narrowbody once they’ve settled in to their new home in my opinion, but there’s all sorts of delays with that so that could be a couple of years off yet. I’d have though QR was unlikely given their smaller route network making relatively niche airports like BFS a harder sell but they surprised everyone when they launched Cardiff so who knows. They do have A321LRs on order.

Its nearly 1k nm longer than their current longest route and one hell of a long sector on a 737.

More likely to be acting on their threat to withdraw services and jobs from Warsaw if the Government owned company (who own both Modlin and Chopin) didn’t invest in Modlin and stop showing favouritism towards Chopin and the government owned LOT Polish Airlines.
See article below which covers their referral of the matter to EU competition commission.

Local Tour Operator Announces New Bulgaria Flight
Making the announcement, Travel Solutions Managing Director, Peter McMinn, said: “The number of skiers travelling to Bulgaria is growing each year and the introduction of a Sofia flight is the natural progression to ensure our customers benefit from great value and the convenience of shorter transfer times to resort.”
He continued: “Our Plovdiv flight is ideal for Pamporovo, with a transfer of only 75kms, and with the introduction of this new Sofia flight, the resort of Borovets has a transfer of only 71kms and Bulgaria’s largest resort of Bansko only 160kms.”
Highlighting the benefits of Bulgaria as a ski destination, Peter said: “The Balkan ski resorts continue to offer the best value skiing in Europe with prices starting from an amazing £639 per person, including the cost of your ski pack. In addition, once you are in resort the cost of a meal is often cheaper than the price of a drink in many of the expensive ski resorts in other countries. Our ski instructors are some of the best and are ideal for those holidaymakers who are beginners or immediate skiers and looking to advance their skills.”
Travel Solutions Belfast to Sofia ski charter will operate every Saturday from 28th December 2019 until the 7th March 2020 with a convenient early afternoon departure from Belfast International. The service will be operated on behalf of Travel Solutions by award winning Jet2.com.

Does anyone see transatlantic flights making a return? It seems we haven’t had a good lot since Zoom and United a few years ago... They made a good combination with one low fares and the other full service.

Personally not at the moment, I think Norwegian we're the last best hope
Orlando-BFS was OK for a 757 non-stop
DXB-BFS would be too much for a 757-200 with any reasonable payload
as for a 737NG or MAX - erm nope - maybe half empty
an A321Neo/LR - I need to see the sums - maybe...
As for BFS Transatlantic - well you had Primera was to have a go...

Saw the ASL TNT freighter coming in this morning which made me ponder the post-Brexit courier ops, since they operate domestically to & from East Midlands as tag-ons from their Continental bases:
ASL for TNT: EI- or OE-reg
Star Air for UPS: OY-reg
Swiftair for Fed Ex: EC-reg, based Belfast
Eurotrans for DHL: D-reg
West Atlantic for Royal Mail: SE-reg

The ASL for TNT commences in BFS ends in BFS. Wont be any changes.
Swiftair have an exciting "trick up their sleeve".
Eurotrans /DHL/ DP can also be EI reg as ASL operate also for Dhl in Dhl colours Airbus 306 and Airbus 330.
