In 2020 SEN was on course to achieve over 2.5 million pax after years of struggling to get there. Despite the opinion of many here, I would maintain that the facilities were absolutely fine in terms of retail, car parking etc. and transport connections were improving with later trains and a coach service that hopefully would have developed.
Easyjet were happy. They’d added a forth aircraft and the trying then axing routes days seemed over.
Then Flybe went and with it the franchise. Virgin Connect never happened. Then Covid19. Then clearly, something else happened that pushed EZY into severing all ties with SEN. Andrew Tinkler tells us that’s down to Warwick Brady.
The airport has a good future. A small but modern terminal, a runway resurfaced to a high spec only 18 months ago. All taxiways upgraded. Everything needed in place for a few years. Even generates a handy chunk of its electricity itself.
So I’m confident the airport will get through this. As for Stobart? Good luck.
