Hmmmm
Saw it, heard it, believe it (when MOL/FR turns up I will). How many times has the lo-co bell rung at HUY, bit like everything else.
We will see.
Sorry, I seem to have turned turtle but it just seems there was an opportunity in 2004 (before DSA) and they blew it. (Mind you DSA have nothing to crow about either)

To attract any loco, HUY's management would first have to learn the art of 'bending over backwards' (also known as 'providing a service'). Once mastered, they would then need to learn the art of bending over forwards (preferably with their trousers down). Then, and only then might HUY attract the attentions of a certain Irish gentleman who is known to have bragged about how he 'raped' one of his other suppliers (Boeing).
Seriously though, as a first step HUY should take a hard look at their ridiculous opening hours !!
It's a good job that HUY failed in their attempts to drive out the local flying schools. The schools were the first users of the airport, and they will probably be the last.
FR at HUY ? Dream on.

Oh we do have a lot to crow about. For example in the 6 months of the airport being open it as carried more freight than the whole of Yorkshire did last year. In 6 months we managed to attracxt and fly some 500,000 pax. We have Canterbury travel running lapland day trips on the 3rd and 10th Dec, Easy Jet start flights from DSA on the 16th December I believe. Add to that the regular Thomson and Ryan Air flights, plus the two Balkan flights from next year and the cruise flights as well.
Therefore I think we have a great deal to crow about. I could have gone on and mentioned TNT flying horses in and the Antanov that did the same.
The only negative I can think of ( or willing to admit) is the DC8 fiasco but then that wasn't the airpoprts fault but the carriers.
Oh I don't work for DSA but am an avid enthusiast and DSA supporter. I have visited HUY once and whilst it does have a lot of lights and a few JP's what else can it offer?
