Can see why they got rid of the Marketing Dep't now can't you, must be all being done by the MD. Amazing.

:hmm:

If you own several different airports, yo don't need a marketing department at each one, all you need is the MD at each airport to keep a central marketing function up to speed with what's going on and what is predicted.

It's the same in any industry and should work just as well.

My info is that fire engine ran out of diesel

OOPS

Wouldn't be the first time thats happened this year also! :rolleyes:

There was a unusual flightcode the otherday listed "MAY999" from TFS anyone know what it eventually was? It must of landed early hours because it had cleared from the boards in the morning.

There must have been some kind of cockup at TFS as the AEA was majorly delayed also.

Ryan Air pax figures at HUY are not good, usually only about 60 onboard in the week and even less at weekends. Cannot see this lasting after the summer. Coupled with the rumours DSA have made KLM an offer they can't refuse, it could be quiet winter at HUY.

The HUY-DUB flights are at a very early stage, it's only their first month of operation. However, the 738 is too big for the market. It HAS shown that there is a market for HUY-DUB flights, but probably with smaller aircraft from the likes of someone like Aer Arann.

KLM WILL NOT LEAVE HUY.

I've also heard that DSA is trying incredible hard to get KLM from HUY.

This makes me chuckle, if true, shows how desperate DSA are getting. :)

I don't doubt that DSA are trying to poach KLM from HUY, but if anything, KLM would fly from BOTH HUY and DSA. Don't forget DSA would incur competition from Tfly, who would be far from happy with DSA for enticing competition!

As a DSA supporter I don't think DSA/Peel are desparate. I think they are just very good at what they do. Let's face it, this time last year everyone was having a giggle waiting for their whole venture to collapse. And come on, since DSA started flights HUY looks to have boomed. I don't remember seeing almost a full arrivals page list on teletext for HUY last year. It's a bit of a different story now. Seems MAG needed the wake up call. As for the KLM flights; KLM used to fly out of Sheffield City and I seem to recall that many of the flights were pretty full. That market must have gone somewhere, and I'm willing to bet not all of it went to HUY.

If the pax figure for Ryanair are right, then it is a shame. I think I read somewhere that pax figure for the DSA flight 738 are 73% or thereabouts. If Ryanair are moving to larger 737's then someone somewhere at MAG ought to be looking at another service provider for the 60 or so people per flight who want to go to Dublin from HUY.

The feeling around here is that TOM have never done a brilliant job on the Amsterdam route and might not be too sorry about competition. But again, I don't think the hoardes who fly from HUY will suddenly transfer to DSA, DSA has its own catchment independent of that.

It seems to me that MAG have been so complacent that they've never actually got around to finding and promoting what is the best market niche for HUY. If DSA coming along has done anything to change that and secure jobs then it is a blessing for both airports.
