I agree with the last post; I also live @35mins drive from HUY(was there yesterday infact) and have always hoped that a loco would start services from there. Unfortunately with DSA diluting the catchment area, I can't see it happening now. IMO the only possible contender would be Flybe as all the others have the wrong size of a/c for most routes. I had seen posts about Jet2 coming to HUY and even thought they could operate services to PMI/ALC/BCN on w-rotations from LBA but then surely this would reduce demand for the established routes from LBA. The IT flights seem to do well and the AMS service is getting more capacity again from October; F100s replacing F70s on 2 of the daily flights (which will be more than from MME). There is clearly a market that isn't being tapped into; those travellers that want only flights (no accomodation). Flight only prices have always been high on IT services; I suspect the reason why Jet2 can fill 3 flights a day to AGP.
