But probably a more realistic and sensible operation to begin with. The previously aborted launch will have revealed something about the market appetite for double-daily flights between CAX and SEN and perhaps caused a rethink. There was previously also the suggestion that it was driven by an element within the Stobart Group that is no longer there and a harder commercial view may now prevail. Many on here had been of the view that the operation planned originally had marginal commercial potential and I think this one, with it's emphasis more on leisure and VFR passengers rather than daily commuting business travellers, looks better from that viewpoint.
