The big word there is 'if'. Regrettably over recent years SOU has been shedding operators, so much so that Flybe now has a stranglehold on the airport's viability.
Both Flybe and SOU have been badly managed for years, Flybe by inept over -expansion and costly leasing deals, and SOU with lack of airside/operational investment and future proofing, hence the fleeing of existing operators and the inability to attract new ones.
I just hope a way can be found through this for the sake of both airline and airport staff.
