Whatever the trend, then the bigger picture is that in month when DTV recorded 13,298 pax, then in same period the competion recorded :- NCL 407,277 & LBA 242,948.
This IS the issue facing DTV where the competition is investing millions in improved pax / terminal facilities. Reality is that DTV is NOT an attractive proposition at this time to most of it's catchment area. There is no way that Peel/VAS or indeed anyone else is at this time prepared/able to invest large amounts on a longshot. In this market volume counts & should an airline come calling, then they will be facing significant competition in establishing routes.
The current situation must be approaching critical,as any business whatever industry that has to rely on one customer (in DTV's case KL) to survive is seriously at risk.
