TCX will fly to only Turkey, Tunisia and share on Ibiza and Gran Canaria thats hardly a major tour operator.
We all know that Thomson are the main tour operator at DSA and it reflects in the fact that they will be running charters in the winter.
As for next year Florida is almost certain with Thomson, and Lanzarote and Fuertaventura are on the cards. As always nothing is set in stone until it is officially announced later this year.
We know you love HUY but don't try to put down DSA before it has even opened.

I called Thomas Cook a major tour operator because they are one of the UK's biggest tour operators. I wasnt refering to how big their range of flights at DSA was
Florida flights are good news - its not like they would work from HUY or LBA

Why would Florida not work from LBA/HUY? If you mean from LBA/HUYs runways then maybe you have a point. If you are talking bums on seats from the local cathment areas then LBA would win hands down. I believe LBA has already had some Florida flights operated by BY 767s in the past albeit not direct due runway constraints but with a favourable wind off 14 direct would be possible they do it from NCL with a whole 120ft more TORA. DSA will most likely get a Florida as at the moment all Yorkshire to Florida pax have to go from MAN and DSA will be easier to get to for the majority of Yorkies.

Thomson Holidays operated non-stop flights from both LBA and HUY to Orlando and the Dominican Republic a few years back. Runway length at HUY or LBA is not a problem. HUY was actually the most successful out of LBA, MME and NWI for the several-per-season Florida flights.
Florida would only work from DSA. HUY or LBA at a push fortnightly.
Flybe are currently examining HUY and DSA, but I have it officially that they are unsure as yet as to which airport will offer the greatest potential. They WILL operate from either HUY or DSA.

How often did these Orlando/Dominican Republic flights operate and why did they stop?
When are BE likely to decide which airport to use. They are HUY's best chance, in my opinion of gettting a low cost airline

I think it was in either 1997 or 1998 that the Florida and Dom rep flights operated. HUY got about 4 or 5 departures over the summer season. 767 a/c.
BE will decide where to go after they have established Norwich and Southend operations. They are very aware of the fact that their network is lacking on the East Coast from NCL down to NWI.
There are more route options from HUY, however, DSA would offer more traffic to the likes of EDI, GLA and BHD. I would'nt expect any announcements in time for the summer. POSSIBLY something for winter 05/06, but more likely summer 2006.

The truth is,it is the retail outlets thay MAY not be ready. All the flights to and from Finningley will be as advertised,from 28th.April,2005
Also learned that the fire station will be on red alert from 6am 01.03.05. It is thought,and only thought,that the a/c will not arrive before 9am. Any more accurate info wouldf be very welcome.

sqibbler, whether the radar is ready or not at Liverpool,will not affect the Finningley flights.
So who will vector the inbounds onto the ILS and provide radar services outside CAS?

He didnt say it would affect Doncaster flights.
It will be a procedural service provided at Doncaster when radar is not available.
The only "airspace" Doncaster has is an ATZ.
Waddingtons primary and Scamptons secondary will be used at Liverpool to provide radar.

I think you will find that certain operators will not accept any less than a RAS outside CAS. I certainly wouldn't. I think that you will also find that certain smaller operators such as Eastern Airways cannot accept anything less than a RAS outside CAS, so I'm certain that any jet a/c operator will only accept a minimum of a RAS outside CAS. Therefore if there is nobody providing a RAS then inbounds will be affected. possibly Waddington could provide a RAS, but sounds a bit too much if an a/c is carrying out a procedural approach and then given avoiding action to break off and then re position.
