DSA

There's been odd rumours of talk between DSA and Jet2 management, but these seem to have been about diversionary flights. LBA and DSA seem to complement each other in poor weather as LBA gets hill fogs/winds and DSA gets low-lying frost fogs which don't usually occur at the same time.

DSA IMHO is a bit too close to Leeds and is served by TOM and FR to the sort of destinations Jet2 go to in these present conditions. When things pick up in a couple of years, who knows? TOM had good loads (but don't know about yields) on its city routes like AMS and PRG but then changed its business model. FlyBE picked up Jersey, but Ryanair and Easyjet didn't succed with Pisa and Geneva (Winter) respectively even when times were better. TOM has pulled off its winter GVA flight but there are rumours FlyBE might take it on.
