I've got absolutely nothing against HUY. However I have been concerned that the Manchester Airport Group were only showing interest in expanding ops from there in order to damage DSA, which they see as a major threat to EMA and MAN. Until DSA opened the vast majority of South Yorks people (including me) took their holidays via MAN, and occasionally EMA. LBA and HUY hardly got a look in. Now DSA has opened MAG can see they are losing the people who previously used MAN or EMA to DSA.
Hence they are offering Ryanair, Excel, and possibly now Jet2Com preferential deals at HUY in order to drag people away from DSA. I'm not convinced it'll be possible to rig the market like this for long, but it'll certainly be interesting to see what happens next.
