To be honest these days I try to resist commenting on these various statements from SEN management as their optimism seems wildly over the top whether it be pax numbers or airline interest in starting SEN operations.
It may well be that when SEN canvassed a large number of airlines recently there were perhaps a dozen or more who responded with a one-liner on the lines of "Thanks for your interest and we'll bear that in mind as our recovery plans evolve over the coming months/years." but that could hardly be described as being in talks with them. Maybe three or four might enter initial 'talks' but not 'dozens' surely?. Still, Glyn Jones' press release has certainly stimulated interest on PPRuNe and any publicity is no doubt welcome. The current availability of slots at several of the LON airports as a result of COVID seems to be the biggest obstacle to SEN rebuilding its passenger numbers in the short term.
Incidentally, ASL operated three LEI-SEN-LEI rotations yesterday rather than the usual two. I don't know if that will continue.
