So this one is going to be mainly for the British members of AE who know the situation
with Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
- Work with TUI to come up with profitable, low frequency Transatlantic services.
- Work with expanding airlines in UK such as Monarch to establish a base with one or two aircraft operating key holiday destinations with an almost-daily service.
- Work with Wizz Air to expand to Germany, Czech Republic and the Balkans.
- Possibly Wizz Air to establish a base; Possibility of a weekly Dubai service.
- Work with Links Air & FlyBe to expand on domestic/regional services
- KLM Cityhopper to start a twice-daily service to AMS using smaller F-70 - Serve Sheffield to complement Humberside services
- Raise funds to invest more into FAARS connection road to M18 - work done within a year or two
- Possibly establish own airline serving niche markets on low frequency using chartered aircraft.
What would you do?
I would work with expanding airlines like Monarch to establish flights to seasonal holiday destinations and also work with TUI and Thomas Cook to introduce flights to American holiday destinations.
I would lower fees because some airports are quite close and are competing for services. I would find someone to serve New York 3 weekly or so (Monarch?) and otherwise it is fine.
Thomson would not place a 787/767 On a long haul route from DSA intact i doubt any airline would offer Long Haul from there, I think they need to look more at the Low Cost airline side of things, Maybe look at Cargo/GA/Private Aviation, The Catchment area for DSA is too small. I think it would be worth Thomson removing flights once the Partnership contract ends and moving the DSA based aircraft to LGW or LTN or even CWL. DSA is a lost cause in its current state.
