SEN in my opinion cannot handle 10m pax per annum. The local infrastructure and local residents could not accept that. However 5m to 7m pax may be possible and would help to return the £160m invested by Stobart into the airport.
Yes it has won various awards in recent years, and it would be nice if some of those posting acknowledged that fact without wishing it's fall from grace.
Remember just a few years ago it was handling less than 40000 pax a year, now it's a million and a quarter and growing rapidly.
I must confess when I look and read about the unfortunate state of LTN trying to cram more and more into less and less, then perhaps SEN being small but perfectly formed is not such a bad thing!
