I think Southend's chances of attracting Wizzair depend to some extent on the level of free movement post Brexit. If the UK takes a permissive line for a few years post April 2019, Wizzair will...

I'm thinking that every year the main LCCs will cut routes which underperform on a A320 / B738. Normally it's because demand is more suitable for maybe an ATR72 or Dash 8.
