The charter was instead of Turin during the winter olympics. TOM could always consider bringing it back, although GVA always seemed like a temporary replacement for Turin

When they don't have plans to fly to any airport then they take them off the website!

Scunthorpe Telegraph..............the mark of journalistic excellence 
Routes get dropped, they go straight from the website. So why are DSA and BOH still there?
Answer that one.

The door is open for smaller low cost airlines at DSA now to come in a pick up the routes Easyjet were going to serve.
Easyjet are looking for a small base in the area, and so I wouldn't be surprised if they try Humberside. I tghink it's worth a shout.

DSA is still on the EZY booking panel, but you cant book any flights from DSA so whether its on the panel or not doesnt seem to matter.
If, which I think is unlikely, the Scunthorpe Telegraph has printed a load of rubbish, dont forget that many potential passengers will not question the statement and assume Easyjet has pulled out of DSA
EZY haven't released any winter flights yet. When they do, I guess we will find out if they are staying at DSA

Tell me an airline that leaves airports in the booking panel a month after they drop routes?
It is likely the Telegraph has printed rubbish, at which point does it say "a spokesman for Easyjet said they have no current plans to fly from Doncaster/Sheffield"? What they will have done is looked at the website and saw flights had ended for the season and interpreted it as they have no plans to fly from DSA.
But like you say we will see.

They had an airport (Milan Bergamo?) closed for runway attention sometime last year and re-routed those services into Verona Brescia.
It still has to this day 18 routes operating out of there, according to the booking engine, when in fact they fly just the two (Stanasted and Ciampino).
Easyjet are looking for a small base in the area, and so I wouldn't be surprised if they try Humberside. I tghink it's worth a shout.
EZY go for large catchment areas, i very much doubt HUY would fit into their criteria, the only very slight chance would be if they decide that HUY is far enough away from NEMA to make services viable, i will have no doubt they will have looked at the airport some time though, dont forget they would have the power to steal pax from TOM at DSA, eventualy gaining them an entry into DSA!
Just a thought

I think you're all getting a bit carried away here. However as far as the Scunthorpe Telegraph quote is concerned Airlines may not tell newspapers they don't have plans to fly from an airport if they do, but they sure as hell don't go telling newspapers of all things that they do have plans before the official announcement is made, usually simultaneously by the airport and the airline. Airports in association with the airline usually make the announcement, not the newspapers! And anyway, haven't you noticed, if the quote is verbatim then it is very carefully made: notice that careful word 'current' in there? Doesn't sound like they've quit for good to me.

BH Air Tupolev 154 farce yesterday
The BH Air first flight of the season from Bourgas to Doncaster, yesterday was told to go around on short finals as there was no fuel available for their return. Not a fuel shortage, just that their credit was not good. How farcical is that? THe Tupolev made additional approaches before going into the hold whilst it was sorted out. Possible diversion to MAN and coach the passengers from DSA was a solution. Eventually after negotiations over the Servisair company frequency, permission to land with fuel availability was granted.
Not a very good impression given for an up and coming international airport is it?, let alone an added workload for the pilot whilst in the final landing phase, having to start considering financial concerns and implications, in the last 45 seconds of the flight.

Ah thats what was going on, I was watching it from the house, thought there may have been tech problems. Did put a post on but it seems to have made its way to the spotters page.
Cheers!

The fault is completely with BH Air, the pilot and passengers just got caught up in it. There were no problems all through last year dealing with them, but because they didn't pay off their remaining debt the airport were well within their rights to deny rights.
Its better than impounding an aircraft like some people do!
