I would argue SEN could offer that. I imagine the bulk of pax will be London-bound, so the overall journey should be quicker and SEN has to be a lower cost option. Fees must be relatively astronomical to take a Saab into STN.
I’m also sceptical many people use the EK service, especially as northbound there is a 6+ hour connection.
