No idea on the carrier. I remember someone saying on here that FAO/DBV was about the limit for a full E195 from SOU in the summer, so I doubt Corfu or indeed the Canaries are accessible without notable load restrictions. I suspect the E190 would fair a bit better given it does LCY-Greek Isles with a fairly(?) small restriction.
MARKEYD - I do agree it looks rather amateur, I'm sure even 'last years' attempt at the MAN/BOH-Greece flights looked a little more legitimate...

Just tried making dummy bookings on the loloflights.com website - no availability on any dates it seems.
Suspect that unlike last year, the website is not really intended to be viewed as live

How many places have they copied and pasted their T&Cs from before running them through Google Translate?
Edit... quick Google of some samples says Small Planet has been one of the donees...

I see that Powdair have announced today 4 flights a week from Southampton,for there ski programme.
It's difficult to see how this will be maintained,but good luck to them,it means a A319 in for the winter.

4 weekly flights seems ambitious, given that's more than there are to Geneva on Chambery this coming winter! Hopefully they have some good allocations from tour operators to fill these flights up.

Just got thinking today, is there a market for Madrid?, possibly with someone like AirEuropa?, they have the Embraers, so I see no reason other than demand as to why it couldn't work. Just someone I'd like to see at SOU too.

Vueling tried Barcelona in recent times,and it didn't work,so I wonder if Madrid would be viable?
Due to Runway restrictions at Southampton I feel there is limited expansion ahead other then domestic/channel hoping routes.

April 2017 stats
166,198 passengers went through SOU in April, showing a strong 14% increase on last year (helped partially by the later Easter). Some route breakdowns below:
Alicante - 109 pax / 92%
Cork - 52 pax / 72%
Dusseldorf - 51 pax / 66%
Faro - 102 pax / 87%
Lyon - 27 pax / 35%
Malaga - 105 pax / 89%
Munich - 24 pax / 48% (Now just BMI, based on all E145, actual % will be a little higher as a result)
Palma - 57 pax / 73%
Paris CDG - 61 pax / 78% (Increased from 7 to 12 weekly, but 12 weekly Paris Orly service was also dropped)
Sun routes are doing very well loads wise considering how early it is in the season. Hopefully someone will pick up the incoming slack next year (looks like the E195's are actually going this time). Other routes are also pretty good although Lyon continues to struggle.

Vueling were using the wrong equipment. I went to BCN earlier this month and it felt a bit silly having to drive to LGW to fly there. AE do have the same embraers that BE do so could make it work along with MAD. I suspect they don't have room to serve these routes though. I do get the feeling that now V7 are moving to an Airbus fleet that it could bring about the end of their operation at SOU. Hopefully I am wrong. Still think the c-series is the key to unlocking SOU's potential. We just need someone to order it! Come on EZY!

If this is true,then could this mean the end of Sunshine routes from Southampton?
The lack of investment airside and more to the point the development of the master plan runway extension could have reprucussions on the airport future.Simply awaiting for the c series to come along is nieve to say the least,as it is yet to be ordered by an English carrier.
