I think it's a pity that some people have to sound so sour about the regeneration of SEN. It certainly "gets better" with the announcement of the Venice route if only because it shows that easyJet are interested in establishing SEN as one of its prime London departure points and not just attracting local catchment pax to destinations already well served by LTN and/or STN. In my view SEN's ability (or otherwise) to attract travellers from a wider catchment area will determine whether or not the base expands beyond three aircraft.
Surely there has been precious little good news on the UK aviation front in the past four years and Stobart's boldness in totally rebuilding SEN should be applauded by all in the industry. To do otherwise shows a meanness of spirit based purely upon local interests elsewhere.
