surprise surprise. This is why we need this lot out of SOU. Even in the face of potential serious competition in EZY, they are still acting like they untouchable. This is the only German route, and despite the figures being good (likewise with Munich) SOU is going to be left with no German route for a considerable amount of time. Let’s not forget how hard they tried to fight BMI of the Munich route only to now drop all the German routes. Has happened so many times, Brussels anyone? Look what has happened to Eastern’s long standing operation lately since BE got involved? Aberdeen dropped and Leeds reduced? Didn’t BE truly and force them off those routes previously as well? Maybe BE still know the tight lot at SOU are never going to put their hand in their pockets and allow meaningful competition, either way the airport is going to stagnate with flymaybe calling the shots. Meanwhile at Southend.....
