DTV Pax figures
Complete disaster, if not in absolute terms, then certainly in terms of trends that will be picked up by the statisticians of which extrapolation of current trends reflects certain oblivian !
In reality how long can anyone expect KL to continue it's support?, background ecconomic conditions are clearly reflecting that a Loco option up the road is a no brainer or actually the "cash strapped" local punters have little choice when they consider their budgets.
One could say that the business sector & those transit pax are the "bread & butter" the down side is that the airport experience at DTV due to lack of capital / volume pax is now also considerably inferior to that up the road. Another barrier to growth !
KL will do all it can to carry out its obligations to DTV but at this rate there will come a time soon when they are faced with some very difficult decisions.....

Might help arrivals numbers if they check their Viz measuring equiptment, they were reporting 2000m on Sat when I was inbound and I was visual from 4-5 miles! When I depatered they were still only giving 3000m and it was nearer 8-10k....!

10 dme similar minds...mods can you please sort these posts out.No one is interested in DTV's demise..lets talk caravans!!
I see a new light blue colour is on the market for 2014..go get it!!!
also when the caravans are static..do they let the air out of the tyres...with these winds we are having it might be a good idea? have you ever tried overtaking at Scotch Corner with X winds?

First of all I'd like to point out my personal feeling is the caravans are embarrassing for the airport, but you've got to look at the bigger picture, it's a means of generating income and that's something the airport cannot afford to ignore at the moment.
It's not permanent and yes it's bad press but the usual over-reaction on here is simply unnecessary and boring

New course at DTV
No new routes operating, but when I looked over the fence this week there was a new fire training course being held at the caravan park at DTV.
A case of if you can't beat them, join them for the trumpton boys.

Excellent news!! It may only be one route but it's a step in the right direction that will attract the spend-money-in-the-terminal pax that are desperately needed. It also shows Thomson must still be able to make money at DTVA despite pulling their Winter programme.

Northbound A1 Thomson Holiday's own website has both the weekly Palma (Tuesdays) and new Ibiza (Thursdays) routes on sale for Summer 2014. Thomson - Holidays to some of the best winter & summer holiday destinations
Looks like both service's will be operated by w-legging the Leeds based Boeing 737-800 aircraft...

I know it's good news but why are we hearing about Ibiza from the ex-toilet cleaner chief of Doncaster airport?? Even if he does still oversee DTVA as well, which I didn't think he did, there's still more appropriate people accustomed to going in front of the media, where's Andy Foulds or Shaun Woods at?!
