As far as I can ascertain, Mr Lavan was General Manager of Ringway Handling, a subsidary of the MAN PLC Group, I can't see what advantage he'll bring to HUY.
As for Mr Goldsmith going to Bournmouth, I know that they're part of the MAN Group, but what have Bournmouth done to deserve someone who has presided over HUYs lack of success over the last few years?

General inside rumours suggest BOH is doing too well and needs a tax break. Good luck down there!
Seriously though I dont think MAG will invest anything untill the declining profit turns into a loss, then perhaps off load it.

Why then are they investing in a Cat III ILS for Bournemouth, 2 for Mcr and a Controlled Airspace application for Humberside. I know Rob, he's a good bloke who is well regarded by MAG.

He was only put into HUY to drum up some business. What has he acheived?
No new schedule flights, charter flights declining and most fish flights now going to EMA. Now that DSA is up and running, maybe MAN have lost all interest in HUY.

And what make`s you think MAN was ever interested in HUY

Only been the one flight for about the pass 3 weeks or so.All others now go to EMA. It is doubtful how long this one flight will last before it also goes elsewhere. Cannot see the perishable good hangar now being built.

If MAG shut ringway handling does make you wonder if theyre sending the former MD to HUY to run it down properly, why MAG Plc need HUY now is anyones guess and someone should be offered the opportunity to come in and try make a go of it.
As for less cargo flights, another nail in the coffin. How long before KLM go and Eastern get a better offer at DSA (cause the market is saturated) Such a shame the major tour operator keen on the regions has a major base at DSA and needs to pull back to the bases to ride out a potential storm next year.
Could 2010 mean the end for HUY as an airport and more as a GA facility till someone wants to build an 'eco town'?

Well if rumours have substance and T3 are taken over by BE we can bet HUY would be the first destination to go, they wouldnt require the base
