what your forgetting is that anything west of Scunthorpe/in Lincoln/Gainsborough or thereabouts is DSA territory and the passengers vote with their feet and use Doncaster.

Huy has its uses, but, other than Dublin, Amsterdam and Aberdeen, they never will succeed with low cost flights or scheduled.

They do very well with charter flights, but its only a matter of time before DSA are in a position to offer significantly better discounts and DSA have acheived better pax figures than HUY in the first year of their operation than HUY HUY ever have in 35 years.

Theres always something happening with B737 or larger aircraft at DSA, and they are already expanding the car parking and the terminal will grow next year to cater for new growth, whereas I fear that HUY will continue to bumble along and gradually lose the majority of the revenue earning trade.

A sad reflection on HUY management who could have done a lot better.
