Wow....massive news!!! Great to have KLM on board!

odd timing if its for AMS connection opportunities...

Is there a link for this announcement?
Can't find anything

I see flights are already bookable. Usually airlines announce a route and either start selling tickets same time or usually a few weeks later

Its bookable on KLM.com! Prices start from a very reasonable £80 return it seems.

Very good news indeed. Believe there is another major announcement due in a short timescale. Can't find out what it is but am assured we won't have to wait too long.

Any announcements for Belfast International shoe shine? :O

Belfast City now confirmed KLM: Belfast City Airport - KLM Announces Arrival to Ireland | News | Belfast City Airport

Well done to BHD and the team there. A legacy carrier that should compliment the existing connectivity offered from BA.May even be a cleaver move to stay well away from DUB but tap into the Irish market with there own metal.

With regards to another airline I have heard Dusseldorf being thrown around quote a bit - also ties in with belfast appearing on germanwings website

Other routes are indeed in the pipeline.. wait and see :)

Yes indeed I understand the Eagle will fly once again over Ireland!!

How come Germanwings has Belfast listed as 'BFS' and not 'BHD' if they are going to BHD...

Belfast in general is shortened to BFS - maybe doesn't actually refer to the airport
I'm sure it doesn't take much to change it to BHD if they have to

Actually the airline I heard rumoured was Lufthansa Cityline

Manx2 from belfast city airport.

Dont get the manx2 reference.Yes indeed I had heard that airline mentioned on the jungle drums ie LufthansaCityline.

What? Its actually a manx2 plane going from BHD to IOM. I have a link under it so you can confirm its a manx2 plane.

Nothing is bookable, likewise for Shannon, so no service may be available for 2015?

While the new routes are most definitely positive news, how will this play out with regard to the seats for sale saga? I wonder have City management got the nod that this will be dealt with in a realistic manner at last or will Aldergrove attempt to further delay and muddy the waters.

Could they be charter flights for germans coming to ireland and not scheduled services for joe public?

I think panpanpanpan, in short there is still a fair way to go capacity wise and its in the airports interests to be up to capacity - not only in terms of productivity/profitability but also they will have more of a case when they are bursting at the seams than when there is no need for any increase.

Does Belfast City Airport still got a Passenger Cap on how many seats can be sold?? :)
