You are right A300BOY the airport is situated in a superb position in regard to a lot of other airports.The scope for development is excellent and so is its runway.When DSA opened I believe it was expected that lots of airlines would be attracted because of the runway length.The mgmt running the airport believed it.Long haul destinations would be flown within a few years.Remember the forecasts in the number of passengers that would be lured away from MAN,EMA,LBA to fly from DSA.Their Original Business Plan looked like it couldn't fail.Unfortunately the future has turned out different to what was believed would happen.The question to be answered is why with all its potential is DSA in the position it finds its self now? It will be a clever person who can supply the answer.
