That's funny I always thought that SEN was closer to Amazon's 2 million sq. ft. fulfilment centre at Tilbury than is EMA.[/QUOTE]

There are approximately 2 dozen fulfilment centres around the country, the majority being with easy reach of EMA (Daventry, Coventry, Rugely and Coalville come to mind but I'm sure Peterborough and Milton Keynes also use EMA).

Back to the original post about Amazon moving flights from EMA to SEN I can't see that happening as SEN is quite remote from all of the aforementioned centres, Yes Tilbury is nearby and SEN most probably caters for Tilbury exclusively. All of which is moot as the night time quota at SEN has already been used up with the current Amazon flights. There can be no more night time movements at SEN and I'm not sure Amazon would want to move to day operations.
