HUMBERSIDE
Congratulations to HUY! 
I'm thrilled that there's another scheduled airline coming in and hope the airport thrives on it - but it's early days yet....

Happy New Year to all HUY supporters
The Airtours 3rd Edition Summer Sun brochure shows the Helios Larnaca flight as being a scheduled one, not charter as in the past. Could be a mistake but if not looks like a new scheduled destination and scheduled airline

Re: HUMBERSIDE
"scheduled" airline selling blocks of seats to tour operators or "charter" flight offering blocks of seats to customers on a seat only basis. Its all semantics really and nothing at all to get excited about.

Would be surprised to see all those DLM, big four appear to all be reviewing Turkey capacity, and what is up with the Excel programme. If you go to their web and compare the Summer 2006 flight timetable with what is offered on the drop down menu if you were to try and book then several routes not showing, CFU, ZTH, FUE to name but three?

CFU, FUE and ZTH where to be operated when it was expected XLA would base 1 and a half aircraft at HUY for this summer. There was even a HUY press release. However the aircraft that was to be based all week has been pulled for reasons that arent certain and XLA will just base an aircraft 3/4 days a week. FUE however will be operated by Air Europa this summer

The fully based XL machine did not come about because of 2 main reasons;
1. XL did not physically have an a/c to base at HUY all week in addition to the part based unit, and so would have had to sub charter.
2. The fully based unit would have had a lot of down time, and so in the end, even though the new flights were selling well, including CFU and ZTH, the operation would not have been viable.
In other HUY related news, Servisair at HUY have won two prestidgeous awards;
Britannia Initiative Ready, Steady, Win!
81 per cent of their flights went out with a full passenger list ahead of schedule during a 26 week campaign.
KLM 5 crown status
KLM has awarded 5 crown status to the team at HUY. The award recognises the team's punctuality, baggage handling and friendly, efficient check-in and boarding.

From a genuine source, the airport would ideally like a base set up for the winter 06/07 season. Destinations on the wishlist for one based a/c are Alicante, Amsterdam, Belfast, Geneva, Malaga and Paris. Summer 07 would see two based a/c with flights to Barcelona, Faro, Murcia and Palma added and frequencies increased to ALC and AGP. This is what HUY is hoping for. I fully expect Jet2 flights to commence from HUY either in time for winter 06/07or for summer 07.

Sorry to sound so negative but it must be remembered that this isnt the first time HUY and Jet 2 have talked. There is no guarentee flights will start. Fingers crossed but probably best not to get too excited just yet
Also on a slightly negative note, the Sunday TOM flight to Palma will be operated by a B757 all summer. There will be no appearance by a B767 as TOM will not base one at LBA for the start of this years summer season
However good news is that January passengers numbers where 0.7% up compared to the same month last year
