That could have some weight in it niknak. It would certainly explain the lack of advertising (except for adding it to the current Malaga ad in the local papers) and also perhaps why Tony Lavan didnt sound too impressed with the news when the route was announced. There has certainly been no visible attempt at selling the route.

There is certainly some interest in HUY by BE, i dont think you could apply the same principles to the AGP route this summer, so its clear there is some interest with a view to establishing niche routes from HUY. It was clear when the BHD route was announced that it was unlikely to do well, and was a surprising choice of route when i would argue DUB would come head in terms of bums on seats and revenue potential.

Im still hopeful there will be more from them next summer, though i suspect it will be the likes of ALC and FAO rather than more frequent routes.
