I rather suspect that HUY would struggle to get the DUB route reinstated given the cat fight over charges that ensued and led to Ryanair pulling out of what the vast majority of people considering to be a very worthwhile venture at HUY.
Who was finally responsible for the pulling of HUY - DUB route operated by Ryanair will probably be revealed when we know the length of a piece of string, but BE are not in a strong position to operate routes to and from DUB.
BE operated a service from our place to DUB and, like the HUY - DUB route it was very well patronised - the average payload was greater than 75% but it stopped when BE decided not to base aircraft with us and had to start the route at DUB.
Because they don't have a base in Dublin, and are extremely unlikely to do so at any time in the future, it meant them having to operate an aircraft into DUB from elsewhere to then operate to us - the costs just didn't add up.
The same will apply to HUY, even if BE based an aircraft and crews there during the summer for other flights, it wouldn't be cost effective to have sufficent numbers of staff there to operate a year round service to DUB.
I think that our new management are keeping close tabs on Ryanair and the market trends, possibly with a view to biting the bullet, inviting them in on a "free charges - passenger numbers performance basis", perhaps the bean counters at MAG should consider doing the same.
