Flybe has announced that it is to launch a new route between Belfast and Manston Airport in Kent.
The new service will run three times a week – on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday - starting on May 26.

Flybe Belfast City to Inverness BE331 was forced onto an emergency landing at Belfast International after it's nose gear was stuck up. The Q400 went into a hold for 2 hours to burn off fuel and try to rectify the problem. The aircraft crash landed without any casualties.

Flybe flight BE122 from Glasgow to Belfast City had to off an engine in-flight and conduct an emergency landing on 1 engine at Belfast City airport. The aircraft landed safely and all 69 passengers are ok.

Conversation elsewhere that a Belfast base is likely.

Yes apparently Flybe are advertising for an Aircrew Manager at BHD so indicating a base, beginning to look like a crowded market from Belfast to he UK mainland with what looks like ending up with Flybe, Emerald and EasyJet plus BA to LHR from the spring.

At my local airport BHX it will mean Flybe and Emerald from BHD and EasyJet from BFS when as far as I can recall whenever we have had more than
two operators on a route ( popular bucket & spade routes apart) it ends up in tears - wait and see I suppose.
