I suspect the latter , Despite having an excellent connection to the Motorway network, plus potential for a railway station at HUY , with a nearby rail line .
There have been little or no new routes for years .
The last which comes to mind was the short lived Sunair , to Billund .
HUY would be an ideal airport , it would need a larger apron to support Wizzair .

Unlike Leeds it does not get the weather related closures due to seasonable stops , it has a Flag carrier connection to a fantastic hub.
Room to expand , and at one time did have a good route selection.
If the worst happened to DSA , one would hope , that TUI at least would move their operations to HUY , as it still has a fairly good potential customer base

Of course we don't want DSA to fail !.
