Sorry, I just cannot accept what you say. SEN was a minor opportunity for FR and EZY to add pax and revenue at a time before Covid19. A time when continuous growth in demand seemed inevitable. Now they are retracting to the long established and ignoring SEN’s attractions because they no longer have an issue working out where they can base aircraft and fit 3 rotations a day with 90% load factor (or whatever their load factor targets are now).

As Esken have indicated. Better not to have commercial flights this winter than maybe a daily arrival from a AGP based aircraft. Hard to argue with that.
