All the launch blurb at DSA cited targets of 3m passengers, yet Peel have been unable or unwilling to incentivise the airlines that would give them the product to meet those numbers. When they have attracted other airlines they have been of the type that expect everyone to know they are there, without marketing, and have been less than consistent or reliable with all the expected results. Contrast this with Jet2 who have rammed Jess Glynn down peoples throats until they book a flight or holiday to the point now they don’t need to because they are well respected for their product and value and people will travel to LBA from the whole region to take one of their flights. DSA will only be as good as the airlines that serve it but I do see it has the potential to outserve all other airports in the Yorkshire area.
And furthermore either EMA/LBA or both are only 20 mins or so further from most of South Yorkshire than DSA.
