I believe that CAX is still up for sale as well and Esken are looking for circa £15m for it as they were back in 2021 when the Jason Scales/Ettyl deal fell through.
There was talk of a SAR helicopter supposedly going to be based at the airport for the S23 season, but the last rumour I heard was that it ended up going elsewhere in the end (not sure exactly where though...?!) as Esken attempted to sell the entire airport site to the operator rather than just providing the requested fuel and hangarage.
I wonder if Esken will try including CAX into the deal for any potential buyer of SEN - they [Esken] surely won't want to be left just with CAX as a stand-alone asset, would they...?!
