I hold no brief for Stobart, but what is that remark supposed to mean? When Stobart took over SEN the pax through put was minimal with one flight a week to Jersey during the summer.

Now nearly £200 million later with an extended runway, new terminal, new apron, control tower and state of the art radar and pax numbers on the way to two million what's not to like. Oh and by the way add a brand new railway station connecting the airport to London in 50 mins with up to eight trains an hour.

I have a feeling SOU for one would be pleased with that kind of investment!
