Belfast certainly isnt a seasonal route. As has been said before, its flight times that dont allow for a day return which are causing the problems - the morning flight is too late

Virgin airways
I heard today from a very good sauce that Virgin has spoken to DSA to start a weekly service long haul could this mean Robin Hood is going up in the world? The biggest a/c they have these days are the Antonov!

More long-haul dreaming from Yorkshires second airport
According to two different Thomson travel shops, long haul is to return for Summer 09, but we'll have to wait and see on that one...

Dream? I must have imagined those services to Florida and Cancun last year then... unless they were at Leeds, Yorkshire's "First" airport?
Ok dreaming may be a bit harsh but still, after the three years DSA has been open, people still believe it is a major airport. Take a look around, look at the facts!
It may not be a major airport yet, but it has the potential (both in terms of facilities and catchment area) to expand beyond what it is now.

Please explain, how has the catchment area got the potential for major expansion?
That's not what I meant. I mean a large area of people are within about an hour or so drive of the airport, thus providing the airport with a (potentially) large passenger base. Not that the actual catchment area will expand.
It is quite obvious why Shaheen went to Leeds, any other significant long-haul will do the same.

Doncaster/Sheffield airport might have a big catchment area but Leeds Bradford airport has the biggest population within an hour of the airport it is also serving a bigger population overall and serves a major financial sector outside London. This is what some of the long haul arilines will be looking at, its not just the longer runways but the number of people that will use them.
