And way before Easy LTN took a similar gamble with Monarch, providing them with a hangar- they were all but set on Stansted. Even before that maybe with Sky Tours and Euravia. I think there is a chance that the model will work from Southend- it has a catchment and is a very pleasant place to fly from all accounts compared with STN and LTN. I think SEN will be moderately successful in the long term but whether it will provide RoI to Stobart is another issue. As to whether the model will work elsewhere- well it is to some extent with Flybe deals with Cardiff and Doncaster/Sheffield although I that is a slightly different model. Where else could it work? I can't think of anywhere really - certainly not Durham or Carlisle nor I suspect Prestwick or Norwich. Where else were you thinking of?
