There is already a 190 in STN at the weekend for the Calvi charter, so these flights avoid the need to position that aircraft in as happened in S23, plus I guess there’s scope for other flying if felt viable.
Not true the application to the local councils was specifically for summer 2024
Thats simply the same scenario Southampton operates largely during the City curfew times . And from a staffing point of view probably more economical to bus them up the M11 than overnight Scottish crews in Southampton.
