I realise that a DUB route would most likely require a based machine at HUY which would also require other routes in order to require a based machine, so it is unlikely.
I dont think they problem was fees with Ryanair, more than likely it was the low loads they were achieving, i think the load factor was only around 50% but then it was running alongside the DSA route at the time.
I do believe there have been other cases of not willing to 'sell out' to airlines, a couple of them spring to mind, though i can never be 100% on that.
Still maintain that BE could be one to watch with regards to the summer sun routes that the tour operators have neglected in recent years.
