It is being printed on boarding cards each morning?
I do hate how FR24 conflates flight numbers ( which mean nothing ) with actual flight designators.
If you mean BEE2YL today, standard ILS approach to runway 22 by DH8D G-JEDW from EGPE. The only oddity being that the Belfast Approach controller doesn't have primary-radar altitude readout at the moment.

120kts would almost certainly say to me a configuration issue, probably a flap limiting speed. Or a gear down speed. Hydraulic issue as noted by irish lad would probably indicate a flaps problem, plus brakes may be affected plus maybe steering. I suspect flaps were definitely down as any flap up landing means higher speeds and usually a precautionary divert to Aldergrove for the longer runway.

The cash injection seems to enable current ops to continue and allows time for a review to be completed by the new Connect consortium.

Southend thread mentioned BHD in passing. Re Vigin Connect a published program is no guarantee of actual program but certainly all the noises would seem that BHD will see least impact of any cull should one happen which is a possitive

LHR frequency
It would appear that LHR is up to x9 daily for summer season, EI x 3 and BA x 6, and when EI increase during the peak that may be 10 daily. BA restoring some of their frequency has to be a good thing...

Would it be a flop if EI did LGW-BHS against easyjet's LGW-BFS, considering the convenience of BHS airport for Belfast pax?

BA are coming back to the international
Re a Gatwick flight, with VS potentially looking feed into long-haul with recently purchased BE, I wonder will we see FlyBE (Virgin) back on the route. Rumours on another thread that BE may get A220, ideal aircraft for the service.

Please no! BHD is a much more pleasant experience

The slots were surrendered at LGW as part of the IAG purchase of EI. They had a slow start but it built up. Also BE ran successfully for years E195 service, LGW's policy regarding smaller aircraft made this unfeasible in the end.

Makes no sense for Flybe to start BHD LHR, to compete with BA who huge nerwork connectivity, and Aer Lingus who are price competitive. Besides the existing carriers can feed Virgin at LHR via travel agency / tour operator bookings.
incredible that Flybe have been able to get their hands on LHR slots, if Virgin see a value in handing over slots to Flybe, it says a lot about the profitable use of shots for their existing long haul network, I would imagine a slot would be better utilised to a north American destination...
