Even if you don’t subscribe to rumours or educated guesses, there are two simple facts at play here. One is that SOU is clearly making the changes needed to accommodate a low cost operator and two that the London airports are likely going be back to being maxed out next summer. Growth will need to come from the likes of SOU.
On a final note isn’t it refreshing to not have any car park fires leading to the full closure of the airport
it would be total nonsense if the stands werent realigned,given the new declared distances.The airport will then be prepared for 320 operations when they happen.
Airlines decide routes accordingly to demand,that demand is the key factor for SOU progress.
