Eggs and basket comes to mind. Stobart will not be in control of the situation at SEN. It’s the airlines that will dictate expansion or contraction. Seeing that the airport is a minor base for Easyjet and Ryanair and with Wizz just dipping their toes into the water at Southend the airport will be very vulnerable in the short term so could Stobart run out of money?
Stobart’s plans for Southend was based on the fact that there was very little capacity left at other London Airports so Southend’s geography could be ignored. That won’t be the case in the short to medium term. Will it be the case that another company will ultimately benefit from Stobart’s vision and cash?
