Eventually, but not in the short term, SEN and CWL could be other potentials, all depending of course on the state of the economy/market.
I can assure you that this has come as a complete, yet welcome shock to many of those at the coal face. Particularly when that very question was rebuffed a mere couple of months ago at an internal conference.
It’s no secret that they have been in talks for many years, as they will be with a number of other airports. On balance it does make complete sense, the largest city until now not served by the UK’s largest tour operator. Obviously a strategic benefit to strike now. Also a lot of space in the terminal that can be turned red.
Happy to have been proven wrong.
