What I would like to know is if anyone has missed a flight that arrived at least 2 hours before their scheduled departure time? Prior to RYR arriving it would be fine to arrive 60-90 prior and have no problems. This will be the new normal now (as per other airports across the world) and that is different to how it used to be at SEN. Stobart of course used to sing about the efficiency of SEN as it was under utilised and was a great USP (of course they would, as they were trying to attract new airlines/customers. They will now have to either invest heavily to keep those standards (I doubt they will) or accept that it is the same as the other players and sell the merits of the place based on other things. What now differentiates Sen from other airports is not as clear as it once was.

Stobart will be happy as it means more return on their investment.
