Agreed; considering that most, if not all, of Esken's money over the last couple of years has been spent on SEN (let's face it, they've given up on CAX...!), it does strike me as odd how they seem to be focused on obtaining just one route.
As for a based airline, who would seriously consider doing this - easyJet & Wizz are busy competing against each other at LGW/LTN, Jet2 & Ryanair are both established at STN, which really only leaves Flybe as the remaining option as no other UK-based airline is likely to entertain options out of SEN at the moment, are they...?!
Does anyone know how busy Air Horizont have been with private charter work since they based two of their B737s at SEN?
