Yes, thanks TCAS,
the 757 can outperform almost anything as I am sure you know -
A fabulous aircraft - would still be ideal for SOU today too...
I think Monarch's also flew in and out of SOU + Hispania's too >? (not 100% on that one - sorry)
I worked for many years with the 757 with Monarch, Air Europe and Air Europa's, Britannia, Odyssey/Nationair, Hispania and IEA
(a lovely little outfit)
Load it up 228-235 seats - fly to Palma or Alicante and back twice during the day, then off to the Maldives or Mombasa in the evening.
Thomsons' filled it from SOU -
the market is still there I am sure.
Palmair had no issues filling 757's from BOH too - TFS PMI plus Luxor and Cairo day trips.
A frequent aircraft used also at EXT for IT's.
