Doubt it, more like existing competition - Jet2 LBA and TOM DSA that will have had an impact. I don't think the FR EMA has been on sale long enough to make such a quick impact, after all, there is no indication on how well or not the bookings are for the FR EMA-TFS at this stage.

TFS
yeh maybe your right, but EMA catchment area does extend up to Humberside, I remeber from when I did my degree at Hull It really isnt that far at all once on the M1. With regards to bookings for TFS from EMA with Ryanair I can tell you the first month of is looking about loads of 70% already . It';s just a matter of time untill the number of flights a week is increased.

I suspect the dropped TFS flight is to do with the First Choice winter pull out from HUY (except a Lapland flight) announced some weeks ago. They shared with Airtours to TFS in winter. The 2nd, now dropped, flight was shared between Thomson and Thomas Cook. My guess is that Thomas Cook are now sharing with Airtours (due to their merger) and Thomson, with no sharer, have therefore axed their flight and can still offer passengers DSA-TFS

Seems to be some issues with 'hangar 9' (thats the big one that was unoccupied for quite a while) - its up for a quick sale or lease. Anyone know anymore? Financial problems?

HUY,
would that be KLM Engineering then? -KLM do the large majority of their own engineering and maintenance and all their own heavy maintenace unless specialist/one off expertise is required.
For that they have specialist major bases at Amsterdam and Norwich, so that knocks that inconsequetial rumour on the head.
That rules them out, so who else could the airport be offering a large shed for minimal rent to?
Pikies, rave organisers, fill it full of sand and it could be Cleethorpes 2 (the Winter alternative), or perhaps like the rest of the airport, it will be a superb facility without hope for the future.

Humberside Airport announced an impressive 68 percent increase in turnover for July compared to the same time last year. Turkey was the most popular summer holiday destination with Cyprus coming second, closely followed by Majorca.
Rob Goldsmith, managing director at Humberside Airport, said: 'We're delighted with the recent performance. It has been a busy few months and we hope the trend will continue. We're now looking ahead to the winter season and look forward to welcoming even more new travellers.'

That article is selective in the information Im afraid. Ther airport press release states that 92% of bookings in July at Humberside Airport Travel where late bookings, and therefore not full price holidays I would guess, which wont give good yields
August passengers figures are mixed, whith some excellent performances and some poor ones

Some good news to report - Scottravel Holidays will start a weekly Dalaman service next summer. They will use Freebird on a Monday night. Arrive at 1840 (FHY509) and depart at 1950 (FHY510). No official announcement yet – information from their online booking engine
This will mean 5 flights a week to Dalaman next summer, with 3 on Mondays. Freebird are a new airline to Humberside

Blimey! Desperation by the airport authority to make it look busy!
All references to "Dimlington" are North Sea helicopter flights operated by Scotia.
EZE595P - a positioning flight departing after doing who knows what, but it's a one off flight.
Several references to light a/c flights (Oxford, Sherburn, Unclassified flights).
Amsterdam and Aberdeen - the only scheduled services Humberside has.
Under normal circumstances, the only flights you would see on the departure boards are commercial charters and scheduled services, i.e the Amsterdam and Aberdeen flights and whatever IT flights are operating that day.
Humberside has a seperate helicopter terminal therefore its all the more suprising that helicopter movements are dispalyed in the main terminal, as theyre of little interest to anyone.
Its the sign of desperation from an airport going down the pan fast...

Hanger 9
Take a look inside the hangar next time you pass. Doors are usually wide open. They are building an enclosed structure inside the hangar - Oct 4th - that is explained to visitors as a bonded store for A/C parts. KLM engineering? The owner Ibbotson is already planning another structure, slightly smaller, on the land between No9 and CHC.
