Agreed. SOU existing routes are the bedrock of its operations and will remain so. We all await with great anticipation to see what will happen in the next 12 to 24 months. Getting new routes will not be an issue as surely they will come but the big question is will they be successful, as U.K. plc faces some challenging times ahead and there might well be some consolidation next summer.
An issue is that with no announcements forthcoming passengers are already booking their Gatwick flights for next year, business that could have come to Southampton.
