Sorry although I am a local and would love this airport to show some strengths and balls to succeed and grow, I have to agree that I seriously have the feeling that SOU owners & management are fiddling whilst Rome burns -
There have been no dynamics shown in new routes, new carriers, and building for the future has been lazy to say the least...
How many more roadshows and consultations for SOU do they need?
The planning permission - has it even been submitted formally ?
How many operators do they need to fall by the wayside, plus the Fly Lolo debacle, and TUI now dropping routes (IBZ) and frequencies (PMI) for Summer 2020 just when the package holiday industry actually has plenty of customers looking for holidays with the loss of TCK.
All we have seen is a badly leaking sieve, sorry chaps., that's my tuppence.
Look at the growth of SEN and BRS in recent years, even BOH & EXT, despite the industry knock backs of the loss of MON, BMI, TCK and the 737 MAX debacle.
