i still think either a TUI 738 or Thomas Cook A320 based at the airport would be better the only issue would be utilisation given the night curfew. Then BOH looks more attractive.
Yes I too think BOH for Flylolo's new route plans would be a better option for them - However getting the right 'fit' sized aircraft for this niche operation, and having the range too for some of the further destinations is a fine balance to tune.
The 737-300/700 or A319 size at around 140 seats is still a hefty number to fill, but better that than a 189 seater 738 or 320 risk.
A 717 at around 115-120 pax is a great size, and has the range for most but it is a vanishing beast.
F70 or F100 is limited on range/payload.
Embraer 195 from Stobart? - these have seen a poor despatch reliability of late at SEN (noted on their thread and FB as two a/c often going Tech)
