A lot of people are speculating as to what services DSA will get in the next few years. Here is what I think DSA will have by the end of the decade

Scheduled Low Cost

Thomson Fly - base
Ryanair - base
Easyjet - base (keeping of Ryanair routes)
Flybe - Small base, domestic services only (they seem not to be coming to HUY now). I doubt FR/EZY or TOM would fly to EDI, GLA, Belfast
A German or Easern European carrier operating 3/4 times a week from their bases. Probably avoiding any route operated to TOM/FR/EZY - bit of a niche perating like Wizz at LPL

Scheduled Not Low Cost

AA or CO to New York - although LBA could handle such a service, DSA's longer runway maybe an advantage in bad weather and if any service is upgraded to a B767/787

Charter

Thomson - large range of short haul routes (similar to EMA, NCL) plus key long haul routes
Balkan Holidays - as now
My Travel and Thomas Cook - as now, may be the odd extra destination, probably shared with Thomson
First Choice - probably similar to My Travel and Thomas Cook, to keep up with their main rivals
Various Cruise and special departure (Transun, Newmarket) flights

Opinions welcome
