Spotting @ Belfast Aldergrove (BFS)

Hey there,

I will be in BFS for a day in early January. I was wondering how busy the airport is for Movements? What airlines would I see, any charters?

Is there any good viewing locations around the runway at Aldergrove? Would I be able to walk to these locations from the terminal?

Any help would be great! 😀

Kind Regards
FLX 🙂

If the Aviance man looks like a Muppet its our dear Matthew and is best avoided at all costs (Poor Matthew likes to party naked and get up to other wild things!)

But i look very smart when dressed in my Aviance suit 😀

Once you arrive look for the aviance baggage desk in the Arrivals Hall (big aviance sign). the inbetween the wall and the trolleys to the left of this is a long slope. go up this slop and straight though the double doors with the Security Camera directly above them. Then up the stairs and your in the viewing gallery.

If you get lost ask the friendly Aviance staff who man the desk 😀 We’ve become the new information desk. We might have moved to new premises by January, but we’ll be about 🙂

It does have excellent views of roll out and rotate section of runway for majority of aircraft as well as the main Charter Stand (22), bmi baby, jet2 and easyJet stands.
Large zoom needed for runway photos but beware its very dirty glass!

Flex – can you join us for Manchester meet at end of the month?

Hey,

Thanks for your replies guys.

Could you please tell me more about the viewing area?

Is it inside the terminal? Do you get a good view of the apron, runway?

Thanks
