Northern Ireland's air future
« on: February 19, 2018, 11:00:07 PM »
Im getting bad vibes here about our bumbling political organisations about our country, lets be honest, no airlines are being attracted to any airport with the current mess, any ideas whats going to happen?

Was reading an article earlier about post-Brexit and the dire position UK airlines operating to Europe will find themselves in without the present open skies policy in operation.  Perhaps it will cause others to follow the example of easyJet.

It doesn't seem great. However, without getting too political, the DUP/Tory deal includes a full review into the costs of APD in NI. However, the damage is done. More and more are going to Dublin. With Dublin also getting a new rail link to the airport it will mean Belfast gets left behind.
