trying? has it taken 2 years to TRY to get a single flight? If he didnt spend his time showing little kids around the airport, a job that anybody can do, maybe he could try a little harder.

Having had the reasons explained at a recent staff forum, its very clear why we dont have any winter flights. Unless flights were to operate almost 100% every time they fly, the airport will lose money hand over fist. In other words, it is not commercially viable. Even the larger airports have a much reduced winter programme, but they have the all year round international flights that still bring the money in.
Unless some travel company came up with a very interesting W flight plan, Humberside will be happy to maintain what it has for the winter season, Eastern, KLM and a large Offshore business.

New Ryanair route to Alicante. Twice weekly from April.
Ryanair Announces 4 New Manchester Routes to Alicante, Faro,? Read half way down.

This is good news and i would think probably be a success, but how long will they actually operate the route for? I suspect if BE were even still considering running AGP again they would be put off now also.

What i meant was, are they likely to return next summer or are they going to do a BE and not come back even though it may be a success. I suppose they have done a straight swap with MME so they would have the availability though.

Lets put it this way, I cant see it failing really. 
The airport has been screaming out for something like this for a couple of years now. 
Fingers crossed, and even more so for winter 2011

Jamie2k9, i would hope it has no effect on their ALC route from DSA. I dont see why it should, HUY goes for a very local market really.
Im still not completely convinced of their motives. Someone posted elsewhere that is part of a bigger MAG deal which demands they meet a certain number of passengers from BOH and EMA to recieve cheaper fees?
Saying that, im sure it will do well and hopefully will bring more here.

I'm with Pug, it won't have any effect on anywhere else! For crying out loud it is Alicante! There's nowhere more attractive to the South/East Yorkshire mindset than Alicante! You could probably put a couple of A380's a week on the route from both Humberside AND DSA and they'd still be full ....

Here we go again. Ryanair will do exactly what they did with the Dublin flight. Once their landing fees change or time slots are missed etc etc they will be out like a shot leaving HUY to rue its BIG mistake once again!

I wonder if the MD will apologise to all the staff after he told them that 'we' didnt want budget airlines at HUY and that he doesnt like their way of working! I bet not!

To be fair 'Tonto' the Dublin route was operating at 50% loads most months on average. I'm aware of only one occasion where FR missed their slot at DUB and had to hang around until the next one, but I dont believe it was the fault of the airport.
As for landing fees, well it seems they get an MAG deal on that, so it may not be as clear.
I hope they do well, though its probably better to be cautiously optimistic. I do think the flights will work though, a much more realistic offer than the previous attempt.

DSA keeps 3 a week, as HUY and DSA are quite close are FR are setting one against the other to keep charges down?? Otherwise it would be easier to operate out of just one.

Don't want to go on about DSA but it will also probably have TOM flights to ALC also. However FRI aren't dealing with airports they are dealing with companies, HUM = MAG DSA = VAS. I'd also speculate that somewhere along the line VAS and MAG have other 'business dealings' with each other. It would be nice to think that could benefit both airports ....
