Depends what you would call 'decent growth'? Clearly the airport has taken a hit both by operators consolidating and DSA competing in the leisure market, but as you can see the relatively small loss can be turned around, and the airport is perfectly located to cash in on the renewable energy industry set to grow in the Humber region.
With the exception of DUB, I wouldnt say routes have failed as much as the airport being unable to lower their fees for a couple of weekly flights to ALC, though HUY was all set to operate this year until FR removed some based units due to the airbridge dispute, so the route itself cant have performed too badly (and by all accounts it didnt).
