Fees at CAX and SEN? Quite possibly - although I don't personally think so - zero. But a revenue guarantee? No way. This route adds nothing to SEN to enhance its value as an asset for future disposal, and, because this commercial activity could end in the blink of an eye, little to CAX either.
Loganair are willing to accept their share of the risk, they are in the business of aviation after all.
