This is great news, there is currently no one on the aerodrome dealing with such business therefore Weston Aviation will be well placed to provide a first class service. They also provide regional business aviation development, well placed for the potential Humber Bank development(s). Some positive news for Humberside!

Unless Westonair build a new dedicated large handling FBO facility, including hangerage, they offer nothing that isn't already available.

There perhaps isn't enough info released so far so its open to speculation, but what they do say is it will be creating jobs for local people, something not to be sniffed at.
This quote was in the Northern Echo in respect of the DTVA operation, so maybe they will bring something new to the party?
Weston Aviation general manager Becky Carver says the firm has been actively promoting the benefits of business aviation to North-East firms. Ms Carver said: "we have gone out to the local community trying to make people aware how viable chartering your own jet is, it is a business transaction rather than a luxury. It has taken a little bit but it is slowly changing, we are making people aware of what we do."

Cracking piece of news, about time we heard something positive come out of Humberside. So much for the rumours that Humberside had a limited life span left.
Don't get me wrong this is good to hear, but I thought the guys over at Hangar 9 were looking to develop exec handling?

HIGH flying executives and business leaders from around the world will soon be receiving a VIP welcome at Humberside International Airport.

And the company said it hoped to "significantly increase" the number of private passengers jetting to and from Humberside.
Nick Weston, founder and managing director of Weston Aviation said: "We opened similar facilities at Durham and Newquay about eight yeas ago and in both we have doubled the number of private passengers.
"There are already private aircraft using Humberside, but we feel we could develop that significantly."
As well as opening the first dedicated fixed based operation (FBO) at the airport, Weston will also promote and develop the use of business and private aviation through a new regional charter...

Airports Council International have HUY ranked as the UKs best and the Worlds 9th best for customer satisfaction.
Unexpected bit of news today, even for the airports spokesman on Radio Humberside today it seems.

Dont think it will be getting any awards for customer satisfaction at the moment with no hold baggage scanning facilities. This was after a visit from the DFT. Everything is having to be carried down to the same area where the hand baggage is scanned. Should be interesting with this if they are able to achieve the turnround times when th Ryan Air starts in a couple of weeks.

Yay. HUY are Ł1000 in the red already after their crap effort at getting RyanAir turned round in 25 minutes on Tuesday. A matter of 45 minutes later the plane took off again.
Must try harder, and get the refuelling done quicker or it could cost the airport a lot of money!

Finally I would like to point out that HUY would not be the ones in the ''red'' as you say. It's the ground handling / fueller / ambulift etc who would be the ones in the ''red'' if a delay was put down to them...(should they not be able to prove otherwise). HUY would actually be better off as they would then be getting paid by ryanair as they have gone over their planned parking time.

Tonto, the tuesday flight was only that long turning around due to the shear number of PRM's that needed boarding! todays flight was much smoother due to fewer numbers requiring the Ambulift.
It does annoy most of us when the likes or youself try your best to badmouth the airport, but as with most minor irritations, we can easily ignore you

Bailey said he “wouldn’t give a categorical no” that MAG won’t close “some of the smaller airports”.
“That is sad,” he said, “but I think it’s just about the cost of making those businesses operate.”

If there's a better way of pissing off some of the MAG major shareholders I've yet to see it. To think such things or discuss them privately is one thing, to utter them publicly is commercial suicide.
I would suggest that the "UK's smaller airports" have a better chance of survival than Mr Bailey.
Mr Bailey speaks common sense.
Small airports with limited numbers of big aeroplanes have all the associated costs and little of the associated revenue. Just do the sums!
Low cost operators have changed the face of airports. May be good for the passengers but not good for the airports.
