If you're proposing that SEN-LJU would work, a couple of questions:
  • Who would use the service? UK leisure passengers? Slovenian business passengers? How would it be more competitive than Wizz Air's LTN-LJU?
  • Since the profitability of the route would be - let's say - "uncertain", who would be underwriting the service to convince the airline? Stobart? Ljubljana Airport?
