In regards to whether HUY is an attractive option for LCCs, I would say yes and no. HUY could easily sustain something from Jet2 akin to their BLK operation. I would say a maximum of 2 based a/c of 737 size.

The discussions with WOW may not come off with any new routes, but talking to is better than not at all. I personally think that WOW would be the best carrier for HUY. 50 seats is a good size for low fares domestic and regional ops, and appropriate for the HUY market. BRS has no low fares to ABZ, WOW could operate BRS-HUY-ABZ twice a day, London Gatwick, Belfast, Cork, Jersey, Southampton or Bournemouth, Paris even something like Dusseldorf. I think London is unlikely, as I would think anything from the area to LGW would go from LBA.

CORFU is great news! It is likely to be operated with the XL machine, as the brochures are released, we should get a clearer picture of what XL has planned for HUY.
