SEN catchment is what, 1m?

It cannot compete with LCY business/frequency
It cannot compete with STN/LTN LCC's or charter

A Palmair style operation would be PERFECT for SEN. Catering for the very local and immediate needs of the catchment. Also some limited Flybe services could do well as it would operate lower capacity aircraft & on routes that LCY couldnt profitably offer. I would assume AMS, DTV, BLK, EXT, LPL, EDI, DUB would be good starting points from 2012 when terminal opens.

By the way can people understand this this runway extension will not allow for unlimited op's by 737/319 family. It will allow for a runway operation much like SOU's. The very odd 737 movement but mostly jungle jets & props.
