The majority PAX on W6 routes are south of the Humber, why would they travel to LBA? Surely HUY is the better alternative to DSA or is HUY management as inept as Peel.

Mark Chadwick, Oliver Coppard,
I have been sent your social media comments by email this morning saying that my post is categorically untrue.
Well I'd just like to correct you, my post is factually correct. Chapman freeborn are in active discussions with other airports, one being BHX and the other STN.
You didn't seem to care when I posted that silkways broker was no longer using DSA for their 747 flights, and they cancelled almost 20 flights overnight into DSA following PEELS consultation announcement.
May I suggest, as neither of you work within this industry before shooting the messenger down, telling people im wrong that you actually fact check your facts before posting.
My posts by the way are not designed to be negative against the airport, but to highlight the willingness and proactive work being undertaken by PEEL/DSA management to close this airport.
You should try working with these idiots.

As I've said earlier all the efforts to save it are a waste of time. The decision has already been made and that's a fact.
And if by some miracle it did stay open, the current operators will still want to shift their offerings away as the place is too tarnished now.

If the right deal is made that suits all the airport will carry on, albeit it would have to change its modus operandi. It has a far better infrastructure than other airports to offer, just getting the right operators

It's always been at 'this stage' also looking for the next thing but just never been able to grab it. Maybe this approach from Peel may be the trigger for essential growth, who really knows...... We will find out soon.

As someone with no parochial interest, I find this a disaster of regional planning. The area East of the Pennines and North of the Trent should have a single airport capable of handling all sizes of aircraft from regional to large cargo, and reasonably accessible from all directions. LBA can never fill that role, and the investment proposed there would be better spent on building proper facilities at DSA.
