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 !.
Dont feel like the owners of Humberside are all that bothered about entering the race to the bottom. Seems to be ticking along quite nicely with what they have. I have no involvement with Humberside so could be way wide of the mark, but an increase in passenger business could paradoxically end up costing money in the longer term, as Peel seem to be finding.
