Any update on who will use the new maintenance hangar

I fly out of humberside(ppl). We had two chaps in to the club this week one doing a/c resprays and the other interior trimming /refurbs.They are going to be in a part of the new hangar,they said that it was not going to be used for 737 maintainance or similar.:ok:

Interesting,
Thought all the flying schools were closed Monday and Tuesday

Make that within the last week then:bored:

new hanger
 

We had the same guy come into the flying club this week, and yes we are open 7 days a week at the Humber Flying Club.

XLA Visits HUY!

Cheers,

Hear there is to be some commercial jet action at the new hangar shortly!

What was involved in the base training. Did the B738 do touch and go's?

BBC Look North are reporting Ryanair may announce services in the next few weeks

Hmmmm
Saw it, heard it, believe it (when MOL/FR turns up I will). How many times has the lo-co bell rung at HUY, bit like everything else.
We will see.
Sorry, I seem to have turned turtle but it just seems there was an opportunity in 2004 (before DSA) and they blew it. (Mind you DSA have nothing to crow about either)

Jersey has been added to the airport weebsite for next summer. Will the airline be WOW again?

Didnt WOW do bristol this year too from HUY?

Lew

Gather a 738 is going into the new hangar next week, hopefully the first of many.

Not on a regular basis. There may have a positioning flight, diversion or one off charter however

Do you know the airline?

Howdy,

G-VKNA (Ex TF-ARI) of Excel will be doing base training tomorrow (tuesday) and also on thursday at HUY.

I've heard strong rumours that Ryanair are coming to HUY

To attract any loco, HUY's management would first have to learn the art of 'bending over backwards' (also known as 'providing a service'). Once mastered, they would then need to learn the art of bending over forwards (preferably with their trousers down). Then, and only then might HUY attract the attentions of a certain Irish gentleman who is known to have bragged about how he 'raped' one of his other suppliers (Boeing).

Seriously though, as a first step HUY should take a hard look at their ridiculous opening hours !! :yuk:

It's a good job that HUY failed in their attempts to drive out the local flying schools. The schools were the first users of the airport, and they will probably be the last. :O

FR at HUY ? Dream on.

Charter guy, you seem a bitter, are you part of the GA activity at HUY?

I was not aware HUY tried to push the GA and clubs out??

I don't think its as far fetched as u think

7006 fan said Oh we do have a lot to crow about. For example in the 6 months of the airport being open it as carried more freight than the whole of Yorkshire did last year. In 6 months we managed to attracxt and fly some 500,000 pax. We have Canterbury travel running lapland day trips on the 3rd and 10th Dec, Easy Jet start flights from DSA on the 16th December I believe. Add to that the regular Thomson and Ryan Air flights, plus the two Balkan flights from next year and the cruise flights as well.

Therefore I think we have a great deal to crow about. I could have gone on and mentioned TNT flying horses in and the Antanov that did the same.

The only negative I can think of ( or willing to admit) is the DC8 fiasco but then that wasn't the airpoprts fault but the carriers.

Oh I don't work for DSA but am an avid enthusiast and DSA supporter. I have visited HUY once and whilst it does have a lot of lights and a few JP's what else can it offer?
