It may be a long wait yes, the general members of the public up here would have probably not heard of EUJet so to get the best potential out of Humberside would a well known and well branded airline not be better for the HUY market? While i agree the HUY area alone could not support extensive lo-co operations the chance of getting such names as FLYBe or JET2 would mean that people from further afield may come in and make up the short fall of PAX. Thats the unique thing about this country that people have the choice of not traveling too far to a number of different airports within a couple of hours away, HUY has that chance as it isnt realy far from South Yorkshire and parts of West Yorkshire and DSA cannot provide everything its catchment wants, thats where airports like HUY can pull back their market share and increase it. 6-11million people living within 2 hours of the airport is not a bad number, despite DSA and LBA im sure there is room for HUY.
