i dont understand why everyone is getting excited about huy getting their malaga flight back! how on earth they lost it in the first place is beyond me.
please lets not be too naive about comments from airport md rob goldsmith... scroll up for the paste from scunthorpe telegraph).
OK, put yourself in his, or his consumer communication managers, shoes... if you were them, and you were struggling to keep the airport open, and you knew that you were the laughing stock of the travel industry (and they ARE), if you knew that you had absolutely no chance of getting any new business... would you really issue a press release saying that?!
A press release like the one above is an attempt to gain free advertising, so it needs to be positive... I know for a fact that yes, they have got Malaga back (again, well done!), and I understand that they intend on launching new routes like Monastir for S06, these are small announcements compared to the ones being made not so far away.
BTW - any new routes that go on sale for HUY are questionable... It will go on sale, the travel agents will be paid to convince you all to book it, bribed even, but, like all the Fuerteventura's and Paphos' that have gone on sale before, you can bet your bottom dollar that likewise, MIR will end up being cancelled...
HUY is old, its tacky, its not what people want. That's my opinion.
