New Jet2 Belfast - Barcelona

[Jetting2]

From Jet2.com

New Route launches 24th Sep daily from £21.

[BFS/BHD]

Excellent news

Does this mean there will be two aircraft based at BFS?

[Jetting2]

It looks to me as though there will be from 31 Oct because two aircraft would appear to be required at roughly the same time on a sunday.

Grewt news for NI! On the timetable from 31OCT BFS-PRG Dept 0840 lands back BFS 1410, BFS-BCN Dept 1520 lands back BFS 2105. So just 1 aircraft needed here at the moment, but from 24th Sep to 30 Oct the Dept times do mean 2 aircraft are needed. BFS-PRG Dept 1045 lands back BFS 1405, BFS-BCN Dept 1255 lands back BFS 1900.

Ben Lowry writes in the Belfast Telegraph today:

New direct scheduled flights from Northern Ireland to Barcelona were announced today, making the Spanish city the latest destination in a growing list of European airports accessed directly from Belfast.

The low cost carrier Jet2.com is to start the daily service from Aldergrove late next month.

Philip Meeson, the airline's boss, said he was " thrilled" to be in Belfast this morning to announce the route.

" Barcelona really is an amazing city, full of culture, great shopping, great food, tremendous architecture and a fantastic climate "

Jet2.com, who already fly from Belfast to Prague, said the decision to launch the service came in responce to " overwhelming demand ".

Fares on the service, that begins on Friday September 24, start at £21 per person one-way.

[eastern wiseguy]

Allmcc is AWFULLY quiet these days ....probably gone off on holiday from BFS.......such choice these days .. :E :E :E

[with alacrity]

eastern, hopefully he flew with EasyJet as well, just to get the holiday off to a dream start.:*

full length required, of course you will be invited. Your party behaviour is something to behold.;)

[ALLMCC]

"gone off on holiday" - yes!

"from BFS" - no, no, no!

"flew with Easyjet - no, no, no, no, no, no!!!!!!!

"dream start" - aaaaargh!!!!!!!

[full length required]

with alacrity - Maybe you would like to extend your invitation for the Christmas party to ALMCC!!! Better give him plenty of notice though he may have to seek permission from the headmaster!!
:p

[with alacrity]

ALLMCC

You are cordially invited to have a pre Christmas drink with some of the splendid ATCO boys and girls from BFS. Time and place to be decided. We usually meet up with EasyJet aircrew so just think of the fun you will have.
:uhoh:

[ALLMCC]

Thanks for the invite but must regretfully decline - all cheap "orange" juice and I'd probably have to bring my own anyway!

[EGAC_Ramper]

ALLMCC seems to take a lot of stick??:p I guess their must be a History..lol


Regards

[eastern wiseguy]

Ah go on ....come out for a beer!! We even let people like Tower Ranger buy!!!

[woptb]

Can anyone join the BFS love in !.

[Tower Ranger]

Yeah , anybody can join in as long as you`re buying drink. It can`t be my round again!!
Maybe ALLM would prefer to inbibe with the equally splendid though not quite as wealthy BHD Atco`s. The only problem is we usually meet up with some of the usual suspects from BFS!!

[ALLMCC]

EGAC

See your PMs

I have heard that Easy are also to start a BFS - BARCA service. Has anyone else any info, surley NI cannot support two airlines going head to head on this route.
