Airmax, sometimes you guys astound me.
Even when it is true you deny it. Methinks all DSA people been to the Tony Blair school of ultimate denial.
What was that guy's name who said "...the Iraq army will be victorious, they are pushing back the heathen American, Iraq is winning!..." comical Ali wasn't it?
I am not going to make a song and dance over the divert to Barcelona for the Alicante service, these things happen to all, nuff said, no fault of DSA.

humberside etc
As you say I think a thomsonfly plane DID make an emergency landing at Barcelona from Alicante. I guess the a/c was returning to Doncaster. No connection with the previous rumour,although,as you say,these things can happen to anyone.
As it happens,of course,no difficulty at DSA.,although again,no guarantee that DSA wont have difficulties,as all airports have from time to time.
Incidentally I just realised that this is Humberside thread. Sorry.

The Spanair was chartered as no Thompson aircraft was available. Spanish Aviation Flying Regulations would not allow the aircraft to land as they were not satisfied, on safety grounds, with the current radar arrangements at DSA , hence the divert.
Bit rich coming from the land where ATC always go on strike in the busy periods but...
Hey Nice Jam,
Thanks for the link but unfortunately it leads nowhere. According to the web-site the bulletin board has been closed until further notice. "...Not me guv\', have not made any postings there -honest..."

HUY
New services from HUY!
Most expect a low-cost operator but as said time after time, is there a sufficient catchment area around HUY to put bums on seats, think DSA have that market well and truly tapped now.
Possible FlyBE may operate the HUY - ABZ route, ABZ owner BAA reporting significant growth on the route.
Why would Astreus base at HUY, your logic is?

Looking at the MyTravel Winter and Summer 2006 brochures there is a Thomson Fly/Britannia flight on Sundays from the 12th February to 30th April but no mention of the AEU flights from May to October. Have these been axed?

It would appear that the AGP flight for summer 2006 has been scrapped. This is beyond me as all the flights so far this season have gone out pretty much full.
The Astraeus base rumour for summer 2006 in line with new flights to Zakynthos, Corfu and Crete is unlikely. AEU commercial dept saying no HUY base in the pipeline. It would therefroe also put into question whether or not these flights will happen, or if it is a printing error.

Make way for a lo-co then! The airport director said he had six new routes in the pipeline that he expected to announce soon! Do you think this has gone down the pan? Has DSA stolen back the AGP? I know the Thompson one moved there for this summer but i was hoping that this new service would stay! I try to stay optimistic but sometimes its hard!
