so an expansion then?

[cuthere]

No, they’re making it smaller and adding a Supermacs for all the Southerners who use BFS

Guessing easyJet isn't launching any new routes now for Summer 2019 or Prague isn't going to be year round?

Did they not say they'd reached their capacity at BFS

On FB, it is mentioned that the Security search area will expand to 8 lanes? Will that be enough to fill peak demand?

Not if all 8 are not open

[owenc]

Yeah, I was just thinking that they usually don’t open most of the lanes.

Their initiative leaves a lot to be desired.

[mariofly12]

Maybe Wizzair will consider a WAW-BFS?

[MaverickPrime]

Do you mean FR are pulling out of BFS?

[True Blue]

No they are not

Cat IIIB approaches for the freighters earlier this morning, really thick muck.

easyJet - Summer 2019

I see on the Manchester Airport thread that easyJet is adding three extra flights weekly from Belfast International to Manchester for Summer 2019. One on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

I assume by 'charter' the CAA in that document actually mean 'scheduled non-passenger' since 99% of freight flights into International are scheduled. Very rarely does a chartered freighter pass through, a few An-12s and a Tu-204 last year.

[EGAC is Better]

Noted with interest that Qatar Airways announced 7 new routes yesterday. One of which, Davao in the Phillipines is only once a week (will increase to 3 per week) due to aircraft shortages.

I’m guessing this puts a bit of a dent in some of the undertones here that QR may have been considering Belfast in the short term. Once a week is a bit of a gamble and you’d think that if BFS stood any chance, it might have fared well when considered against some of these new B787 routes.
