OK. It no particular order. The code is DSA not DCS.
The 737-800 is an INCREASE in what was originally contracted with the carrier. DSA is, and has been almost since launch one of the top 3 best selling airports for TUI for summer 2005. The reason it is not a 757 is a lack of 757 aircraft within the BY fleet and some other crewing issues .... hence operational reasons.
Now, time for a moan. Why are you 'professionals' always so bloody cynical about everything? The airport is proving to be popular with holidays makers, it it not impacting on other airports, it will generate an additional 1,000 next year in the Doncaster region. Moan over.
Access. New motorway link will be from the existing Junction 3, not a new junction, and will link the motorway with the A638 at Parrots Corner. A new junction from the A638 into the back of the new terminal will then be added. Completion in 2008/9.
Cargo, the airport is making sound progress with cargo carriers, and expects flowm cargo on both dedicated frieghters and belly cargo from opening.
FAO. yes the route was dropped for a variety of reasons, slot availability etc etc etc, but replaced with BJV.
The build programme is on schedule, in fact parts are ahead!
Now for the really exciting bit. The airfield will be open to private flights from 3rd Jan 2005. The airfield will at that stage be unlicensed and without RFFS. The airfield will have ATC cover however.
