My bad, it was Luton, I've corrected my post.

They launched the base at the wrong time, getting bums on seats was a huge issue. all you had to do was look for the dirt cheap fares they were offering. Flybe base, Peel massively incentivised them to DSA. they was actually supposed to launch LBA. Peel did try. The new operator will not get anyone or anything different. the airport is a failure, the catchment area isn't there. Wizz didn't withdraw for LHR.. never has been a Wizz plane there..
Ah the LBA brigade, never have a good word to say about DSA.

It wasn't a case of moving the UPS base to DSA, the intention was to build it there in the first place. That info is from a UPS manager of 35 years.
