Air Humberside - flying fish in from Iceland and the YET to be opened maintenance shed you quote is to pardon the pun "small fish", the airport , in the days of Spooner and Co has lacked vision and direction. The people of the area (inluding you and I, i presume?) want connections to destinations that other airports of comparable size have and at prices that are not only attractive but will generate further growth.

But alas, it seems that such operators see the airport like some posters on this thread does not have the catchment of pax to make such routes feasible.

Are you aware of operators that have tried to operate a network of routes from HUY and more importantly are they still around (obviously not counting Eastern Aw). The airport cannot sustain itself by relying on regional routes but the question many are asking is what niche do they aim for.

You seem to take people's constructive views and opinions as a personal attack, they are not, we both would like to see HUY prosper but also for the people in the region to be able to fly to routes other regional airports have and at a price that most people would want to pay.

How is the pint nowadays in the dirty duck?
