Good News for the airport, as it is so quiet it appears that TOM are to do some line training with their shiney new 787s at Doncaster. Cardiff Shannon and Prestwick are also mooted to be used. Being quiet on the scheduled flights have some advantages after all!

Excuse my late night random posts. Am signed off at the mo. Take my late night meds and then browse the net till I fall asleep.
I guess when doing this I get carried away...
Anyway back to normal and reality.
In light of comments made that BA are doing Uk training fir the A380 and of course needing a long enough and quiet enough runway to do it, Does that mean DSS is on the list for a training flight ?.
Im asking this following on from the 787 visit

Frequencies reduced on other Thomson routes for next summer as well to add to the loss of Kos and Bourgas.
Could this be the first step of them moving out of DSA?
Could the airport survive without them?

Why the gradual decline though? They have steadily reduced their services year on year.
Passenger numbers at DSA look like they're going to be a lot worse than last year (which was the worst year by far). You have to wonder when it will finally bottom out and things will change.

There was a post on the DSA Facebook page stating that a new airline called Fly2 would be starting flights in summer 2014.
The post has since been deleted, so i'm guessing it was just a wind up, as there is nothing about this company anywhere online.

So Timmy no comment on the email with all the extra movements on it then?
I'd have thought your mate
(pick an imaginary mates occupation/employer) from any of the following,
A/ Peel
B/ Doncaster Free Press
C/ Thompson Crew room
D/ Wizzair
would have sent it to you.
It's pretty good news wouldn't you agree?

If the extra movements were new passenger flights then maybe it would be worth mentioning.

I'm sure Jet2 will have something to say about 'Fly2' since they took JetXtra to court.. I have heard nothing on this new airline and can not find it on google however Jet2 comes up.. sounds a bit far fetched to me.

Sooner or later we will get a new airline.
Possibly Jet 2 . Routes as follows Ams , Prauge, Perhaos a German destination and some sun routes adding to what we now have .
The danger is Thomson get the hump and leave.
Or a foreign airport Like Norweigan might well come in. Offer the med destinations. And Ams or Cph.
They are expanding theyve cited underserved uk domestic airports. . Id bet that even Tees Valley would be in with a shout there.
Also DSA or HUY to KEF should see. Land of fire and ice. Something different to tempt the public.
As for this new airline rumour astreus is meant to be coming back. Hes launching a new airline. So who knows.
Perhaps Jet2 Would come to Dsa to Squeeze out Huy n Jet xtra..
But its all speculation.
Otherwise the not so great alternative is Ryanair bringing loads of new routes at once.
As they habbit of leaving quickly.

I'm beginning to think someone's meds might be happy pills.
We're really descending into the realms of absolute fantasy.
C'mon; this is PPRuNe not Fans of DSA.

I'm sorry Onyx but your head is way in the clouds.. why on earth would Jet2 go to Doncaster? they have LBA, MAN & EMA to cover that, LBA is close enough to HUY to compete. I think you need to stop posting what your imagination wants and post accurate and not over the top predictions.

Well I reckon onyxcrowle is onto something.
My best mate's half brother's cousin has a brother (twice removed) that knows a guy in the local boozer who knows a chap that works for Servisair at DSA. He told him that because Thomson had landed a Dreamliner there this afternoon, it was a racing certainty that they intend to base at least two there and wait for it.....they were going to start a daily rotation to Keflavik!
And another to Tel Aviv.
Spookily accurate info from Onyx if you ask me.

For an airport that has so few routes and passengers, it sure has an impressive number of posts here on PPRUNE. Shame most of them are at best fantastical hallucinations 
What seemed like a good idea back in the early noughties is now a bit of a lame duck. Still, the only way is up I guess.
