The rail network may be good to Hull but that would still incurr an additional charge to get to HUY thus adding more cost, using the M62/M18 (Hull to Doncaster is approx. 1/2 Hour away) to Doncaster Finningley may be more appealing and with the fact that the airport is offering cheaper flights to locations other than Amsterdam & Aberdeen I think HUY has missed the boat and like others have said HUY needs to find a niche other than lo-co's and regional operators.

And I have to disagree with you Mike concerning the Q400 operation, I just cant see the pax demand to make this a profitable route, even though I'd like to see more routes open up from HUY I just cant see a London route been able to compete with the rail route from Hull.
