Well jumpseater, thanks for that. Getting excited over a few training flights. That's really going to help the airport long term.
There's been another rumour doing the rounds that Thomson are to base a Dreamliner at DSA, however, the airport have dismissed it on their own Facebook page, as well as stating there won't be any new routes for the short to medium term. It seems the airport has even admitted defeat with attracting new airlines and routes!
The magical link road that was to be the airports saviour, still hasn't commenced, almost a year after construction was meant to begin. There is no serious doubt whether it will actually happen at all.
Also, been told today that the airports marketing budget is................£0. Which is not hard to believe seeing as there is no marketing of any kind locally.
Rant over.
