Andy,

With what traffic? Business or leisure? How are they going to stimulate the demand? It's all very well saying "I want more destinations" but if you can't get bums on seats, it isn't going to work. I'm a great supporter of HUY - it's a fab little uncomplicated airport - but even I have only used it a max of 4 times per YEAR! There lies the other issue - you need to stimulate both outbound and inbound traffic - it can't all be one way. This is where HUY has big problems as well. I want HUY to survive, I believe it deserves a service to at least one other major European destination but I don't believe the traffic or yields are there to make that happen - yet. Here's hoping one day it will work out.
