It already has flights to Florida, Mexico, (Soon to be) Canada and Pakistan, of which none of the other airports in Yorkshire can lay claim to.
If LBA and HUY were offering the right product then why would people move their business? All three airports are doing well so theres no need to be sour/negative.
Maybe you do not know but LBA has flights to Barbados regularly through the winter for cruises. What I can't understand is why don't they run these from DSA as the carrier is ThomsonFly ???
