Interesting, so are all those people who were prattling on at the start of the year now feeling a little stupid?

DSA has commitment from the worlds largest travel company (larger than BA yes that's right, WORLDS largest travel company) for 5 based aircraft and scope for growth! That gives roughly 1 million passengers and their will be more operators to follow - how long has it taken most other regional to get there? LBA is doing OK now - but 2-3 years ago was only at that stage - so all those who wrote the airport off ... think again!

Now the name, for gods sake drop the international, if you are tall, people don't say o look, it's tall bob, everyone can see bob is tall and therefore don't need to comment.

Likewise, DSA will be a major international airport, therefore no need to label ourselves when it's obvious! The name - and please all copy and paste this for future reference is "Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport" If you prefer, DSA.

Like the name or loath it, everyone around the world has heard of it, wonder how many people have heard of Humberside? Name was a god send if you ask me!

Roll on 16th march (ooo, about 39 weeks and counting!)
