The BE flights were introduced after EZY pulled their INV BFS service years back. Wonder what makes them think it will do better this time? Oh, no overseas travel! |
Anyone know if easyJet is still planning on starting flights to Leeds? I think last year there was a post that they got landing slots at Leeds to start BFS but then Covid happened and they didnt announce anything..
|
Now that Leeds has approval for a new terminal and plans in hand for better connectivity I would not be surprised to see EasyJet turning their attention to Yorkshire's Premier airport in the next couple of years.
|
Point worthy of note about Inverness. Unlike, for example, nearby Aberdeen, Inverness incurs none of the crippling U.K. Air Passenger Duty on their outbound flights due to their inclusion within the Highlands & Islands Airports exemption. For short sector domestic flights like Belfast-Inverness that creates a significant proportional benefit to low cost carriers and their ability to lower fares and still deliver a profit.
|
All things are relative, but the "nearby Aberdeen" is 90 miles and 2 hours drive away.
|
Indeed all things are relative and I’d suspect the nautical mileage Belfast - Inverness & Belfast - Aberdeen is very relative. It’s just that Inverness possesses a cost advantage on Government tax when an airline’s making a choice between them, no matter what other factors there are to consider.
|
It’s now been confirmed to easyJet staff that BFS will have 7 based aircraft for the foreseeable. As to when all 7 will get to fly who knows with the restrictions, but that’s the plan as it stands for the base this summer and hopefully beyond.
|
Great News
lets hope flights are available from May 2021 |
Any word on if easyJet is still planning on starting flights to Leeds anytime soon?
|
Nothing has been mentioned about Leeds but that’s not to say it won’t happen at some stage. The airline is really taking it month by month at the moment.
|
Ahh cheers maybe they will announce it for W21/22 :)
|
Ryanair seems to have taken Stn off sale again for the winter. I wonder will it operate at all or are they planning a bigger revamp as opposed to 2 flights a week. It does look as though they will have more flights operating at Bfs next winter than this year, I am referring to what was planned before the deep cuts were eventually made.
|
STN & MAN have been dropped
|
Stn and Man were dropped after row broke out with Caa along with the other domestic routes. However when they started to put W21 on sale Stn was put on sale as well. Hence the reason I asked the question.
|
Not sure if it has been previously mentioned, but would appear tui have pulled the majority of their routes from BFS this year. I had Rhodes booked for September, and whilst I haven’t heard anything yet from tui, first available date in now May 2022. Same with many of their routes.
|
Or could they just all be sold out?
|
Jet2
Jet2 have put on Xmas market flight to Prague departing 10 December
|
Still work out cheaper than the Christmas Market at the City Hall in Belfast
|
Seems that FR is also staying at Bfs, at this moment anyway.

Jet2 - Summer 2021
Looking at the timetable it looks like Tenerife and Dalaman are getting one extra weekly flight each for Summer 2021 from June. Could change though!
|
How many based aircraft does it bring to with the additional aircraft? Is it 3 or 4? Great news for the airport!
|
Is BFS EZYs busiest airport at the moment?
|
In the UK, yes. 20 easyJet movements at BFS today followed by LTN. Nice and Milan are slightly busier than BFS currently.
|
Bournemouth on sale with Ezy from Bfs twice weekly starting late May, I think for the summer season.
|
Flights to BOU on Wednesday and Saturday until end of October
|
Last time Bournemouth was served from BFS was Jet2 over 15years ago!

easyJet - Corfu
easyJet Corfu route looks to increase to two weekly from July 2021. Thursday flight added.
|
AT72 G-OASL operated by ASL UK ( on the Amazon contract ) this morning for the first time.
West Atlantic still operate the SE- reg ATPs and Star Air has the OY- B762s but otherwise everything else on the daily freighter schedule is now G- reg |
|
Virgin Atlantic have pulled their summer 2021 from BFS.
Seems to be the same for GLA. |
easyJet - Bournemouth
Anyone know how the passenger number have been on the new easyJet route to Bournemouth?
|
Thanks for the numbers!
Anyone know of easyJet is still planning to start Leeds or has that been scrapped altogether now? |
I think that may been scrapped now as would heard about it by now? , though there is talk about Easten Airways starting x2 Daily Leeds - Belfast City
|
easyJet - Summer 2021
Leeds and East Midlands starting to be loaded into the booking systems.
Both showing 4 Weekly from 2nd Week in July |
No East Midlands in easyJet booking engine or BHD LGW.
East Midland would surprise me. |
EMA is now there as is Bhd-Lgw. That is a spoiler route for sure
|
Spoiler?......
|
I'd imagine EZY's primary interest is keeping the competition off the route, secondary is a warning shot to FR that they will appear in BHD if they don't back off
