Humberside
 

Heres the new thread in accordance with new forum rules.

The main rumour at the moment is about Ryanair. Does anyone hvae any idea of dates for any announcement (if there is one). This week, next? Some time this month?

Another one who didn't read the posts. CAPITAL LETTERS please you are causing me unnecessary work! :{

Sorry :O - thought it was in capitals but I need to double check in future

BIG GREEN HANGAR
 

Looks finished to me.

Just a rumour but is it going to be used by any of these so airlines that Air Humberyawn and the others keep posting might / should use Humberside.

Apparently the people who built it have three offers from companies to use it. They are presently deciding which offer to accept

(Sory for also posting this on the BOH thread as well by mistake - will delete when the thread is reopened)

We are waiting for some announcement from someone soon! Not sure who that someone is but it is thought to be FR with a route to DUB initialy with a view to expanding, just need to hear some more concrete evidence of this before i put 100% on it!

Apparently two lo-co airlines have a REJUVINATED interest in HUY and are said to be very eager!

I believe HUY are working on a number of things at the moment, lets hope we hea something soon!

Re: BIG GREEN HANGAR
 

There is something in the wings (excuse the pun) and it could be very interesting, certainly likely to have a beneficial effect on HUY but what precisely this is my source is very tight-lipped about it -just get this knowing look when I ask about lo-co and other scheduled stuff!!

:cool:

I'm so glad that this:

"Apparently two lo-co airlines have a REJUVINATED interest in HUY and are said to be very eager!"

was posted with an exclamation mark at the end (mind you so was the rest of the post - maybe the full stop is broken) because it does seem a tad unbelievable that 2 LCAs would suddenly show interest at the same time.

I so want HUY to do well but I fear that's just not going to be the case on the scheduled front - and that would be very, very sad. I'm a frequent user of the AMS service but splitting that traffic onto another scheduled route would be suicidal, especially with DSA breathing down their necks.

I very much doubt HUY would be the base for two lo-co's but i know that two are showing interest!

DSA needs to be looking at MAN and NEMA not HUY! HUY is no threat to DSA, the pax figures for DSA by the end of the year will be more than double HUY's.

I think if we start going on about what could and couldnt be served from HUY we will go around in circles forever. Let the airlines do the work and we will see what comes from that. Afterall they are the ones that know what theyre doing.

AMS is a great service and well patronised so apparently their sister company are interested in a link to CDG to compliment the AMS! But its just annother rumour.

We will hear something soon though, i have every confidence about that.

P.S. sorry about all the !!! Force of habit.

I can only say that since the Excel announcement HUY has sprung up on the radar. Logical really when you think about it, all that activity is guaranteed to make people start thinking -"what's going on on the East Coast?", like a run on a stock, or a football transfer rumour/deal...it makes things happen in the short/middle term. That might be why there is a resurging interest.
Or are we saying HUY has less of lo-co as England has chance of winning World Cup 2006. I think HUY has more chance. (when Michael Owen says were are second only to Brazil..you know something is wrong,words of a drowning man!!!, or do you all believe)

I think this has been a trend for most UK regionals in the last few years. LPL and more recently BLK being the prime examples. It seems once EZY move in to LPL every one wanted a piece of the pax pie! Ten years go LPL wa putting through around the same as wht HUY is now. It just takes one to realise a places potential.

Not that im saying HUY will come close to LPL but it will expand quite considerably in the next few years.

HUY GETS A NEW TERMINAL
 

Even if these so called low cost airlines were interested in HUY, the big green hangar would not even be considered as part of the package. Maintenance would be done on the ramp. Always has and always will be. Engineers work harder and faster when cold and wet as they want to get the job done. Putting a plane into a hangar costs time and money.

So...

Looking at the big picture. It is not a big green hangar, but a big new terminal. Ideal for a low cost operation. Pack 'em in, round them up and off they go. Would save the lo co a fortune. No handling fees at the old terminal. Works well at Coventry.

Looking forward to watching the first batch of self loading cargo to appear at HUY Terminal Two any day now....

Are there actualy any operators interested in using the hangar? I thaught we would have heard something by now. I hope its not going to be a white elephant, its big and ugly and doesnt do anything for the surroundings.

How can you say the new terminal is ugly. It is a practical purpose built and functional building, not a piece of art.

Just a point of correction, if it is going to be used as a hangar - operators do do use hangars - a band of highly trained, skilled, hardworking, but always overlooked in the bussiness do. They are called aircraft engineers...

Sorry have i massed something? Your message makes no sense NFI.

Anyone know what N53GX is operating for? Ive seen it at HUY over the past month a fair few times.. it departed this afternoon at 17:00(ish)

Cheers,

Lew

Looks like Excel are pulling the second based aircraft:{

N53GX is a Global Express operated by TAG Aviation for "York Aviation" as far as I can see.

Howdy, Yep i was aware that N53GX is York Aviation, but what's it doing at HUY? VIP trip? sorry should of made clear in the initial post.

HUY has a number of 'net-jets' and other charter/air taxi operators that fly in and out all the time, therefore nothing unusual. As to who is in it etc is surely a matter for them hence flying in a private jet. Obviou sly shows there are a few people with pot loads living in the area, or people have 'influential' friends. No doubt the landing fees are set accordingly!!!! But being serious for a moment, HUY had a load of little planes down;(as opposed to puddle jumpers) Dassaults etc there were so many the apron was likely to fill up completely, what would happen if this happened on a regular basis? Where would all the big stuff sit? How much room has HUY got to expand? it may need to do some thinking if it is going to get bigger.
A mass of Excel next season plus the existing charter ops, scheduled and air taxi etc may max it out, let alone any new operators. Maybe HUY will be employing all the builders in Lincs during the Winter?

:confused:
