Maybe this has already been covered and I've missed it but two interesting articles I think. Passenger numbers down but yet profits are up, that's a good trick! Does that mean that although there are fewer passengers, they are getting more cash out of them when they're having the Belfast City Airport Experience?
Interesting that the Gatwick was doing 250k per year, that's a big loss by any standards. Amazed that they haven't been able to source another London route. I've said it before, London City and Heathrow are good but not really geared to the leisure market.

A paper based in Belfast, on the island of Ireland? God knows. Why does the Belfast Telegraph report on news outside of Belfast? Why does someone with a username invoking a military regiment based in Colchester care so much about Northern Irish aviation?
All questions I’ll leave to the intellects here to ponder.

Lets leave politics aside, especially local politics! As far as I see it, one side is doing its best to completely rewrite about 30 years worth of history while the other side is determined to make as much cash as possible for its members and cohorts. I hold both in equal contempt.
Now, back to the articles. Any thoughts how less footfall has generated an increase in profits?

Another airborne 7700 avoided by Flybe this am? BE729 to Leeds rejected take off as we were sitting at the hold, waiting to go next.
What is going on? Are the Dash 8’s in such a bad state that they are struggling to keep them airworthy or was today not a tech issue?
Edit: Updated flight number to be correct.

Just checked the departure board and BE729 was operated late by G-JEDW. Earlier it was showing as G-ECOB and thats what I eyeballed.
G-ECOB hasn’t flown since so I’m guessing that means it has gone tech or perhaps there was a bird strike during takeoff roll? There were quite a few magpies flying around close to the runway as my flight backtracked.

2Para - life is not a tabloid newspaper. It’s OK, we professionals have the situation under control - you can rest easy.

Of course they won’t - that’s why the flight crew will have decided to prematurely terminate the flight. They will then make an entry in the aircraft technical log. This entry regarding the fault “ wont go un noticed” (sic) by the engineers who will rectify the defect and the aircraft will return to service. No big drama: this is how the system works and how it has worked for a century.

Its quite a jump from any aircraft aborting a take off and 2para's rather doom laden "its only a matter of time". Really? Wise up! Aborted departures, go arounds are surely part and parcel of normal aviation activity. Not really worth the doom laden prophets pretending they know something is about to happen.
That said, does the volume of incidents Flybe have had recently fall outside the bounds of ‘normal’ ? It feels like maybe the answer is at least ‘a little’.

Well, as with your other posts, you suggest incorrectly. At a very rough and slightly conservative estimate I have shipped about half a million people into or out of NI over the past decade. You can trust me with your kite 2Para.
