Any word on any visutors during the holiday period?

NWSRG 1st Jul 2018 21:56

Have Virgin announced their plans for 2019 yet? Are we getting the same season as this year? And is there any possibility of anything more?

GAZMO 2nd Jul 2018 17:20

With VS discontinuing CAN from LGW I can't see them offering a couple of one offs to Cancun, they don't even offer the destination from MAN.

If Las Vegas didn't work from GLA and the fact that VS are transferring LAS from LGW to LHR in March 2019 similarly I can't see VS offering any one offs from BFS to LAS either in my opinion.

The best outcome is an extended service to Orlando and maybe and I mean a big maybe looking further ahead with the DL/VS JV a New York connection could be a possibility.

New york will only work with a daily departure, buisness customers need a daily departures

TCX departure today to Cancun. I would say for marketing purposes an aerial shot of the airport this morning when the Virgin 747 parks, would be quite impressive from a Belfast point of view.

Yes STN is like double, and hasn't touched LTN which has a small rise. Interesting although not many BHD figures LCY 64% growth.

Was Paris always four weekly with easyJet in November and half of December or was it been reduced? Thought it was six weekly in November.

GAZMO 3rd Jul 2018 19:13

BFS BHD
As far as I am aware November was always four weekly with six weekly at busier times of the year

Looking at May caa stats there was a 62% increase in pax numbers on CDG so maybe there could be an increase in frequency still to come. I think with the sixth aircraft based at BFS there are still a number of flights to be announced for winter 18/19

BFS BHD 3rd Jul 2018 19:42

Thanks GAZMO :)

I hadn't mentioned frequencies or the needs of business customers because in my post there was no need to, I just suggested that looking ahead a connection from BFS to New York could be a possibility with the VS/DL JV.

Obviously a daily link would be the best option!

US carriers don't seem to be keen on tag-ons, at least internationally.

The big missed opportunity at Belfast was Ethiopian; that would have given both US and African connections, and they don't benefit from pre-clearance at Dublin because of the timing of their flights. Likewise Kuwaiti through Shannon; that'd be worth poaching.
