it will be sad to see the end of passenger flights at DTV but i cant see how it can go on. Both KLM and Eastern mustnt be making any money or if they are very little.

The airport is making no money and before long the like of travelex and WH smiths will close as they wont open if not making any money.

I think the airport could still operate just as a VIP operation and build on that.

Stobbart buying DTV dont think it will happen they have carlise just a few miles away so a little too close. Also if they did get it i dont think they would get easyjet to base at DTV... Easyjet have little intrest in NCL.

DTV needs a small aircraft operater like FLYBE with there E190's flying to spain, france, portugal etc. that kind of aircraft and operation would work.
other operators aircraft are just too big for DTV to make it work!!

sad for the area and workers....

KLM to state they are to withdraw in a few weeks once peel state they are to finish passenger service at DTV in march 2012..??
