Many feared a daily 189-seat 738 would be too much aircraft for a DUB service, unfortunately this looks like the case.

It seems almost baffling that HUY continues to prosper with charter flights and yet falls flat with scheduled services. There is an obvious demand for flights to the sunspots, but does nobody in the region ever want to travel to other places in sufficient numbers too? The DSA effect can't be blamed too much either, the situation existed long before it opened and even now DSA only offers a handful of non 'sun' destinations.

Perhaps the focus, as already seems, ought to be on continuing to be relatively strong in the charter market and cement it's postion there. Over time, and if remaining successful in this market, then maybe a LCC will take another look at HUY principally for Spanish destinations (which, I imagine is where any money is to be made) and build it from there.
