Good old Richard Lake et al. They are doing their best to really **** up the Airport. Is there likely to be anybody left working there in the next few months? It seems unlikely. Soon there will just be a caretaker to look after the place. 
Make sure he switches the lights out and locks the door when he leaves.

I dont know what you expect them to do.
The airport has losses, and yet is over run with managers and duty managers. What are all these people managing with so little number of flights.
Yes the place does need to be restructured, because otherwise there will be no airport for anyone to work at!
There are alot of people who have been employed there for a number of years on good money and yet doing very little, this has to end.
The truth may not be nice.

I couldnt agree with you more. Its just amazing that they were allowed to stay as long as they have. Could really have done with getting rid of the upper echelon years ago. Now the wheat has been separated from the chaff it should run a lot smoother up in the ivory towers.

Just been reading a post on fb from the above.The Palma and Alicante flights have now been changed to a Volotea 717,which I think is a significant reduction in the number of seats on offer?.

The Saturday teatime flight was dropped with the start of the Summer timetable. Sunday teatime is being dropped for July, August and 1st September according to the KLM timetable.

Perhaps Humberside should be trying to get Easyjet or similar type of carrier.
Huy lacks loco traffic. Also how come eastern haven't started any new routes yet ?

I'm glad Eastern havent started any new routes. Have you seen the prices they charge for a return to Aberdeen? Extortionate! Its cheaper to fly to Aberdeen via Amsterdam with KLM than it is direct with Eastern.

The pax Eastern is after would never consider doing a detour via AMS to save money. Generally speaking, nonstop flights are (and from an economic point of view) should always be more expensive than connecting flights if both connections are indeed competing directly.

The on going saga of HUY, traffic (lack of) and attracting low cost airlines!
HUY is a regional airport, geographically situated in the middle of the Lincolnshire countryside, the main passenger base being the city of Hull, road links to M180 (M18/M1), no direct rail access and new owners.
Low cost has been tried, Ryanair and didn't last long (assume yield was poor for the route to be pulled) and there seems to be no appetite by any low cost airline to attempt any routes, surely this is a hint that low cost airlines have looked at the airport and decided the catchment area is not sufficient to operate to or from HUY.
The issue with HUY is and has always been one of not enough passengers using the airport, the main reason being the limited catchment area to attract airlines operating any other routes other than the established Aberdeen and Amsterdam routes.
HUY could possibly attract regional airlines but the failure rate of airlines that have previously tried to operate from the airport is staggering, granted the failures may not be 100% down to HUY but suggest had a contributing factor.
I long for a route to be re-opened to London (my own personal whim) but the economies don't add up and think the decent road and rail connections make any such route attractively both price wise to a passenger and / or economies to an airline to prevent such routes commencing.
I just don't see HUY operating flights other than what is already operated and however much people suggest Eastern or other operators utilise the airport they surely have to realise scheduled routes to / from HUY are fantasy.
Interesting times ahead for HUY with a new owner but just don't see the airport becoming more utilised than the current situation.

I see the new Jetxtra/Volotea Boeing 717 charter flights to Alicante and Palma from Humberside started operations today. New airline's first flight - ITV News

I believe that the most successfull HUY years were the late 90s when Mr Jenner was MD. He and the then marketing dept. made the best of associating tour operators with the limited catchment area. Passenger figures reached half a million, not spectacular but good for HUY!
Then Manchester Airport came along; the MD was made redundant and it has been downhill ever since!
HUY has a very limited niche market which has to be recognised and nurtured.

I believe the plan is to build a new facility on the Eastern boundary, plans are in place to improve access around the site. Ive not seen the detailed plans however it would appear that the cross runway may close and become a base for the SAR facility and possibly GA facilities.

Answered my own question, VOE9361 leaves PMI at 0820 arrives HUY 0950, Then departs HUY 1015 and arrive ALC 1405, Leaves ALC 1430 - HUY 1600 then returns back to PMI at 1625 arriving at 1950.
25 min turn around each sector, long day for the crew? would there be a crew change at ALC???
Nice aircraft the 717 remember flying Aebal into Vigo once, interesting airport.
