7006 Fan - My original post may of mislead you into thinking that I was referring to the airport actually being unable to handle low cost operators, I wasnt, I was referring to the airport being able to attract enough pax to operate a 2x daily flight to european routes (other than Amsterdam).
I just cant see any of the major low cost operators being able to make a profit on a 2x daily flight BUT I also thought that Blackpool flights to the continent would'nt also work and look how they seem to be doing.
As a user of HUY and an ex-resident of the area I would like to see HUY thrive but lets be honest, high cost flights to ABZ and one european route to AMS does not seem to have the attraction that could pull in the punters. DSA from the start has been well publisised, the low cost operator has advertised the flights available and from what I have seen the services are attracting the punters with good load factors.
