Strangely though, the DSA based Britannia(sorry Thomsonfly) B737-800 is slated to operate some “W” rotations into HUY. I hope that DSA doesn’t take too much traffic away from HUY. I suspect that after 2-3 years, flights will drop to say 15-20/week from @32 this year. It would be interesting to know what proportion of HUY passengers come from the South Yorkshire area. IMO the residents of Hull and North-East Lincolnshire will still use HUY provided the destinations are available. I think the management of HUY missed a great opportunity here; the airport could have supported a few low-cost flights.
The W rotations are Palma and Ibiza
I’m sure the airport still can support low cost flights, A similar operation to EUJet at Shannon would be ideal, 2,3 times a week to Malaga, Alicante, Murcia, Faro and Palma. Perhaps maybe even Barcelona, and Salzburg in winter. Of course now a potential operator could get a every good deal as management will want to be competing against DSA and not dying a slow death
I don’t think the airport’s charter flights will drop that low. As we can see next summer there are additions (Fuerteventura) as well as the reductions. However I imagine there will still be some smaller reductions in flights
Whatever I think the airport has a secure future with Eastern, KLM, Icelandair Cargo and Helicopters
