So it's a Ryanair air frame. I thought it was a Malta Air airframe.  (Yes I'm aware Ryanair own Malta air , I thought it was a Malta air airframe involved)

Belfast International Airport / Any issues at BFS?
Last post by rookie - Jul 08, 2026, 14:07
I'm just wondering if there are any issues or NOTAM's for BFS taxiway's? The last 2 flights that landed jet 2 and Easyjet have stopped and turned on the run way to use one of the middle exits facing the terminal?

I saw this earlier just as I was about to board my easyjet flight. Has me quite worried about future low cost trips as well as the possibility of reduced routes/flights after layoffs come from the takeover as they usually do.

EasyJet has reached an agreement in principle with a US investment firm over a potential takeover.

I fear this is not good news for European travellers.
