My own view is that if 2022 is successful in the wider sense, not SEN specific, there will be growth at SEN in 2023. I’m not convinced however there would be a base and there wouldn’t need to be. Most core destinations can be served from overseas. It’s also not out the question that there could be a winter programme. Geneva for example has been served by a non-based unit in the past.
