It's looking very gloomy to say the least. Assuming the figures on DTMovements website are correct, and no reason to doubt them, put the current traffic into context.

If you take the full year figures for 2010, so excluding any net changes for 2011 so far, you have to go back to 1975 to find a worse year.

Is there not a case for DTV to reinvent itself for GA traffic, probably not under the current ownership, and try to blossom with a scaled down but reinvigorated approach and perhaps the occassional bucket and spade charter. This cannot be sustainable for long....
