So a scattered but still enough potential customers.
Good road links , if not mistaken there is a railway line like at Doncaster close to the runway ( so I'm told) - not seem personally.
But if so , potential airport station.
So why no new Routes and that Terminal has not seen any changes in interior offerings , facilities b, for years .
I understand it's big customer is and are the oil flights (!side question , do they run thevATR direct from Huy to Scatsa? Or Norwich - Scatsa? .
I recall when I first lived in North lincs , they had Ryanair I could swear it was a base if memory serves, I think they served Dublin and Alicante?.
But why no growth to bring in revenue to please the shareholders .
And why no pressure from Northlincs council who I thought did at one point have a stake in HUY.
I ask as Eastern too had their stake innit too so again why no extra services.
Eg Dublin , Brussels , ( unserved all over Yorkshire) Copenhagen, but ideally with better timed flights , more frequently .
And cheaper! . Imho they should be doing something to bring in the cash and stop the Rot. I feel for the staff , the aircrews . Can't be a nice place to work.

ch-aviation.com have the article stating that Eastern is adding wet leased E145 capacity. Unfortunately not a full member so can’t read the full article. Does anyone have any further details on the wet lease agreement?

There is of course the Aberdeen to Scatsta route and a number of regular charter flights they operate for the likes of BAE, Airbus, MOD etc.
It's a shame more couldn't have been done to make better use of the Flybe franchise and brand in launching more niche routes.
