The problem for SOU is that an all-out collapse could well bring down Blue Islands and Eastern with it. Loganair could replace some of the routes but it would be at much higher fares - this might be more sustainable but would drastically reduce pax numbers. EZY coming in is a massive IF, and even if they did the frequency of existing services wouldn’t be replicated. They may also have more of a leisure focus competing with Bournemouth so the south coast as a whole would be a lot worse off
