Well said BombardierCRJ........ I Honestly believe the only traffic in the short to modium term likely to use Doncaster is the LOCOs and several charter operations. By the time Doncaster actualy looks like its a proper airport, the LBA I am sure will have ironed out most of its minor problems.

BMI Baby use MAN and EMA
Easyjet use EMA and LPL
Jet2 use LBA (and is commited to LBA)

Ryanair only serve DUB from LBA but the LBA-DUB is said to be its best route in the UK. I see Ryanair as the only operator that is left that could possibly use Doncaster.

I don't want to slip into the them v us talk. I would like to see Doncaster doing well but there is no point, if it is just at the expence of others and that I mean EMA and HBR. LBA is too far away.... people in the LBA catchment area that don't wish to (or cannot) use the LBA will just use services already from MAN.

from YORKSHIRE the place to be is the city of LEEDS!!!
