Sadly, SEN management and BA Cityflyer/Connect fell out in a big way and we are unlikely to see them here again in the near future. I think the comparison with Jersey or the IOM can’t apply as neither of those islands have multiple large airports close by offering a multitude of choice. Also, I can’t think of a local travel agent who would want to do this.
Regarding other routes, Jersey, Ibiza and Minorca come to mind, although there were others that I can’t recall at the moment (an age related affliction I suspect)
