SEN are still hoping for their own service from NQY,if it now happens why is it expected to be self supporting & cash generating when ops into one of the World`s premier airports evidently is not.
Many regional airports around the UK are looking askance at this BEE/LHR/CG cobble up after their own services have been withdrawn or reduced.
BEE & CG & to a lessor extent LHR are all at sea...
You're comparing apples and oranges - Southend doesn't have the worldwide connections that LHR has, and it is that access that is being paid for by the PSO. If other regional airlines are looking askance, it's because they haven't done as good a job as NQY and Cornwall Council
