I agree that an airlines had plenty of information what the plan was, along with delivery dates... but it's a somewhat foolish airline that makes commitments to routes until the metaphorical paint on the runway is completely dry. Until that point, one never knows 100% what unforeseen things might decide to raise its head !
Perhaps I should have rephrased the question better - do the airlines targetted by the SOU business development team still have significant internal and external flexibility to make substantive decisions for S24 about deploying capacity to SOU, or is it just a little bit too late in the route-planning process for this to happen ?
