I have been informed, by people in the shipping industry, that there is consideration to move the UK trading corridor from Southampton to the Humber Ports in the next few years.
I hear it is a very real possibility as we are central for distribution UK wide.
It is obvious this would have a huge impact on the local economy and HUY would benefit in certainly no small part with business flights and perhaps cargo flights.
All remains to be seen is who will aquire HUY, i was told by a long term resident of the HUY site yesterday that they wouldnt be surprised if the whole site is bulldozed and becomes an industrial estate due to it not being viable as an airport.
I sincerely hope this is not the case.
