The problem with DSA and this also applies to a number of Regional Airports is the continual reduction of passengers using the airport.The question that you should be asking yourself is why would an airline introduce new routes to airports which have falling passenger figures.DSA at the moment has negative growth and the downward trend seems to be growing.Would new routes attract more people through the airport terminal?That is the sort of question that the likes of Thomas Cook,Thomsons and Ryanair will be asking themselves.At the end of the day they are there to make money.The likes of Newcastle,Leeds,East Midlands and Manchester are still increasing passenger numbers. So if you were managing an airline where would you introduce new routes?I'm sure it would be at an airport which is increasing its terminal throughput despite the recession.
