I'm of the opinion that of course we don't want to see airports close and significant job losses. But those jobs have to be sustainable and the airport financially viable and sadly that's never really been the case. I think it would be wrong for taxpayers to pay for an airport that will support no more than a few holiday flights when there's plenty of more financially viable alternatives already available.
Absolutely agree, HUY could work as a single aircraft base for Tui a la Norwich/Exeter etc. There would be no need to expand on current facilities to accommodate a single based 737. At it’s peak, HUY had 30+ IT flights a week.
