I really like DTV always have done, And I would be very sad if you ended up like HUY clutching at straw balls!!
Waiting for Jet 2 - But it will be a long wait!!
Where would HUY be without T3?
DTV has slipped below HUY in pax numbers and i believe services too...
HUY also have KLM, the second busiest heliport supportin the offshore gas fields and some maintainence operations on the airfield. It is reportidly still returning a profit. Im not sure of DTV's accounts but Peel Airports division are hardly stable.
If anything i would suggest that, with BMIbaby highlighting, that airports like DTV and HUY struggle to work with that type of lo-co operation. Unfortunately DTV have found out the hard way.
I would also suggest that MME is in a worse position that HUY competition wise. NCL and LBA having attracted most of the airlines thinkable. DSA has hardly made a big impact in Yorkshire.
I also dont understand why you think Jet2 at HUY is unlikely. I have it from a number of reliable people that it is in for a chance, just not next year.
