Flight plan looked forward to

PASSENGER numbers are increasing at quite a rate at Humberside Airport, great news when you think how only a year ago people were sounding the death knell as Robin Hood Airport opened up.
There's no doubting that bringing Ryanair to Kirmington is a major factor, the daily Dublin flight is a huge boost to the scheduled services, with the Amsterdam hop also going strong.
And with aholiday prices dipping and fuel prices rising, it is hardly surprising to see that even more of the 1-million people who live within a 30-minute drive of Humberside Airport are using it.
With a strong list of sumer destinations being served and Egypt and Corfu to look forward to, there's every reason to be chipper about the airport.
Later this week long term-plans for Humberside Aiport are being unveiled, and if they include higher volumes then not only could we see expansion there, the ancillary businesses that take-off alongside major airports may seriously look at what opportunities there are in northern Lincolnshire.
Business needs good transport links, and as we see with fish from Iceland, it is not just the sea ports, road and rail infrastructure that Grimsby-area companies care about.
