DTV - use to have passengers nearing 920,000 pax in 2006 then the demise of Flyglobespan and BMI canceling of the London route has nearly killed the airport. Im an avid surporter of this airport and beleive if the airlines and routes came our airport can become back to the 800,000 or 900,000 pax a year, even more. Ive spoke to many people and I asked if the routes were at DTVA would they be willing to pay an extra £20-£50 quid to fly from DTVA than Newcastle they all said yes. I beleive if the airlines give DTVA the right routes like Thomson with Alicante, Sharm El Sheikh, Tenerife-South. Onur air have Bodrum, Dalaman, these routes have been sucessful. And I do beleive Thomson will start to use our Airport more with more routes as the years go on.
DTVA is a great airport
