As I said before, people expecting passenger ops to be a priority are going to be very disappointed. All those posting on Facebook excited about being able to fly to Spain from there again are going to have a shock.

They are going after other business, not passenger ops.
I would be surprised if they can't get Tui back, obviously commercials depending.

But they will not want to go through cancellations, so I would not expect to see them before 2026, and unless (and highly unlikely) another airline offers to base a few aircraft there in the meantime, I suspect that is when passenger operations may restart.

And agreed on the FB group. There are a lot of naive people, who seem to think that flights will magically restart and the previous programme will simply resume. I think actually for DSA's longevity, starting away from passengers is a good thing.
