Perhaps they could hope to get a links air type operation.
And maybe a flybe expansion
Though to what destination I dont know.
I wonder would Stansted be the route to restore the lost link to London so many on here bemoan. The loss of a london link.
And Flybe do they Operate from Southend?. If so Would that be a better London link.?.
And is it LCY that Flybe arecstarting from.
Might there be a slot free for MME to LCY?.
After all a Dash 8 isnt that big.
And what other routes realistically and sticking to smaller Aircraft etc might be Viable?.
Did Southanpton work before. Taking folk to the Cruise liners.
An op Suggested IOM. Perhaps van air could do that and Belfast city.
And Stobart Air to Dubkin.
Maybe a seasonal to Guernsey by Aurigny.
And if we got lucky.
A fly be E170 to Paris Year round. From Flybe.
Mainly all business connections.
Perhaps innsbruck in Winter for the Skiing.
And Geneva.
Howabout A connection to Germany or Copengagen ( Though the Latter didnt do well at HUY. But they like teeside have Ams.
Finally Eastern airways.
What could they offer that could work? .
Norwich?.
Stavanger.
And Glasgow or is that too close.
Or Newquay in summer on a limited schedule.
Thoughts folks ?
One other thing this rule about Thompson et all Does it Include Easyjet?. Or Ryanair?
Id bet Ryanair if they coukd wiork out routes thst would pay shoukd try get a deal where its either free landing fees or peel or local government stump up a subsidy to get the airport running again.
Teeside and back across to the dales toward Aysgarth etc have a fair eadtern eutopesn population.
I hadnt realised that albiet spread out they do have a decent catchment area.
Ryanair coukd operate withiout a single bucket and spade route but bring a few routes in to compete with Wizz at Dsa.
And Easyjet. Again they even fly To Iceland now.
I bet if they diid a few badic business and weekend city breaks and skiing destinations.
It might work.
Anyway excuse my rambling on.
But im interested in its future but notice anytime a route is suggested on this forum its immediately shot down in flames usually with rudeness open hiostility as though suggesting them is a cardinal sin .
No matter what route. And yet redpectfully keep in mind sooner or later like DSA it will.improve again
There are only so many airlines and posdible routes in the UK so those listed above on smaller aircraft ( easyjet and ryanair aside). Ought to be possible.
And nit just DTV but HUY and DSA.
And to those supporters and the abusuve naysayers who enjoy shooting down ideas and speaking to people on hete in a manner they woukd never use fave to face.
The new small charters thst the airport has one.
Maybe thst little acorn from which something new will grow.
Maybe even the buds of the first green shoots of recovery.
I wish all the DTV supporters and management anf friends of DTV all the best.
If anyone from this thread is part of such groups please pm me.
