bmibaby launch new services from Belfast City Airport
Services commence on 10 January 2011

bmibaby will commence flying from George Best Belfast City Airport to Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and East Midlands Airport from 10 January 2011.

bmibaby will move its operation from Belfast International Airport to Belfast City Airport, in a move to offer more convenient services to passengers wishing to travel into Belfast.

The new bmibaby services will add to the bmi Groups current flights between Belfast City Airport and London Heathrow, meaning the bmi Group will become one of the largest operators from Belfast City Airport.

The low cost airline will operate up to 48 flights a week from Belfast to its regional airports, with fares starting from just £9.99 one way including taxes.
 
ora sono curioso di sapere la contromossa di flybe sulla EMA-BHD, visto che e' subentrata a FR con due voli al giorno (mattina e sera).

Da gennaio sulla tratta si avranno quindi 5 frequenze al giorno (3 BMIBaby e 2 FlyBe), come direbbe Cesare.Caldi "chi soccombera'?":D
 
Belfast è forse l'unica città al mondo che riesce ad avere un sistema aeroportuale organizzato peggio di Milano, una città di 280mila abitanti, 1,7 milioni se consideriamo tutta l'Irlanda del Nord (ma molti volano anche da DUB) che riesce a suddividere i voli in due aeroporti. Un unico aereoporto per questo tipo di traffico direi che basta e avanza.

Bmi Belfast airport move sparks Flybe fury

A rival airline has reacted with anger to the decision of bmi baby to leave Belfast International Airport and fly from George Best Belfast City |instead.

Bmi baby said it wanted to offer passengers “more convenient services” on its four routes to East Midlands, Birmingham, Cardiff and Manchester by moving to the City Airport in January.

Flybe, which flies from Belfast City to 17 UK routes including East Midlands, Birmingham, Cardiff and Manchester, said it would |make a “calculated and robust” response to bmi baby’s relocation.

Chief commercial officer Mike Rutter said: “We are concerned that this announcement is driven by an agenda which is much broader than serving the needs of the Northern Ireland community which raises broader concerns for Northern Ireland and UK aviation policy.

“There has been a trend over the last few years for airport assets to be bought for ever higher prices using debt finance.

“True competition in the market could be totally |distorted by cross subsidisation which in the long term will be destabilising.” He called for an urgent enquiry into the issue and the “formulation of a holistic Northern Ireland |aviation strategy”.

The news follows the announcement that Iceland Express will start flying from Belfast International next year.

A spokesman for Belfast International also called for an aviation strategy “that drives economic growth in the region as a whole”. The absence of a strategy means a considerable loss of economic opportunity.

“Our priority is to invest in the provision of new and vital direct access channels from key source markets such as the route to Reykjavik in Iceland that we announced and we will not be swayed in this strategic objective. The aim should be to develop the market, not splinter or replicate services to the detriment of the local economy.

“We are not in the business of re-arranging the existing business in the market with the aim of short-term objectives.

“We continue to strive to have the broad regional objectives of our business recognised and supported by Northern Ireland's policy-makers.”
