SOU might become the target for the wrong reasons and Virgin's other priority of culling their non profitable routes.
It is possible with the Stobart/Virgin alliance they could be used to restart the SEN route to MAN to feed into the Virgin network.
Are there any routes ex SOU that could support the capacity offered by the A220 aircraft at the moment?
