be it DSA or HUY as they are both doing very well and they are both growing.
AndyHUY,
I'm not sure how you define "growing", but in the case of HUY I think you'd have a lot of trouble making your assertion stick.
According to the provisional CAA statistics for October, HUY handled 4.3% LESS passengers than it did in October 2004. If you look at the 'rolling year', then by the end of October 2005 HUY had handled a whopping 13.5% less passengers than it did in the same period in 2004. I know I risk getting flamed for writing this, but it's the simple unvarnished facts - no added spin.
This looks even worse when you consiser that many established regional airports (i.e. excluding the London airports and the 'tiddlers') achieved double digit growth in the rolling year to October 2005. In fact the only established regional to do anything like as badly as HUY was Cardiff, with 5.9% fewer passengers in the rolling year to October 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.
