Bristows
There are actually 2 Bristows choppers based at HUY. I was told that they have been purchased by Richard Lake of Eastern Airways fame (and fortune), but have since heard that they are only using one of Eastern Airways hangars. Bristows also have a separate area for the riggers to prepare for their flights. Maybe this will be permanent! (Since heard it will be a 7 month contract!!!) Plenty of time to get more contracts.
At least 1 person has faith in the Airport.

A Bristow Coastguard S-76 was at HUY yesterday apparently. Could be the 2nd chopper. Also Eastern are meant to be handling the new operation (info from my forum)

I honestly don't know how such a 'Small' Airport is surviving on just 6 or so Schedules per day ABZ & AMS, And a few Charters??
The maths = Emp Wages, Power, Water, Taxes, Operating Costs...
Surely all this payout outweighs their income??
It would be interesting to see last years FY results.
I hope HUY does attract more investment, And has a 'Secure' Future.

I realise that it is comparing two different places in different financial situations, but I noticed that the BBC were running an article the other day claiming that DSA was running at a loss of around £1m a month.

Personnel have been repeatedly informed (when RG was no1) that IF HUY lost every single holiday flight (it seems to be going that way) it would still make a profit due to all the on-site companies and current contracts covering any outgoings.
Would love to see it proved because we all know how cheap talk is!!!!!!!!!!
Its down to Tony Lavan to prove it now.

Have you seen the number of heli movements by Scotia, which have a seperate terminal to fixed wing.
Also to note Eastern are handling the Bristows heliocopters movements, but RL does not own them

Its a short term contract (4 months with a possible extension subject to where the customer sends their rig next) servicing a mobile rig which happens to be nearer to HUY than NWI or Teesside at the moment.
Eastern have got the handling contract as Bristows would never give work to Scotia.
Bristows, nor any other UK operator, don't have a Coastguard S76. The S76 isn't designed for or capable of that kind of work, whereas the S61 is and is utilised for that purpose.
The confusion may arise as the Coastguard S61 is painted in the same colours as the rest of the fleet (even though it's twice the size
).
Richard Lake buying into the offshore industry? He might be a clever airline blokey, but be eaten alive by the competition at the first mention of such a thing.
If MAG did make that statement about making a profit with no operators and just tenants, clearly they are desperate to offload HUY and I can't understand why they haven't hastened the process, even if it means dumping all the shares back on the Local Authority and walking away (a provision which I understand exists in the contract).
The sooner someone comes in, with sensible ideas and the accumen to ensure that the airport concentrates on what will make it money, even if it is the Lake/Huxford partnership, all the better for everyone there.

Yeh but they are all within a 2 hour-ish period.........it has been known to look like a real 'grown up' airport on thursdays, especially when the KLM and eastern are milling around too!

Futura
Does anyone know what the score is with Futura departures ?
I'm travelling (was) from HUY soon to MAH & read today that Futura have effectively gone bust
Any news about whether Direct Holidays (Thomas Cook) are likely to set on an alternative carrier from HUY or do you think it will be a coach ride to Stansted
