Would they ever expand beyond their 4 routes from STN? I fear that their peak at STN has been and gone, especially with LS having replaced them as the number 2 carrier at STN, but it would be nice to see some more variety.
They'd have a hard time reopening the base now as they've given away all their previous first wave slots.
Only way it could happen is if either Ryanair or Jet2 cut back on based aircraft (unlikely) or additional capacity added which is still some years away.
An increase in in-bound flying is the best they can do now.
