About a week ago, I flew with OLT Express out of Southend and was impressed with the experience. Punctual flight, minimal hassle, free snack, leather seats, loads of legroom, no scrum either at boarding or on arrival, and all for 40 pounds one way. Aircraft may be 18 years old, but cabin seemed to look ok.

Unfortunately, the flight had a load factor of about 20%, which presumably is not good for OLT's profit figures.

I know OLT are planning to have a brief stint on SEN-Dresden around Xmas, now have an English language website and are selling tickets for the last week in March, but will they *really* return to SEN from late March onwards, or will they more likely decide by late Feb that they've had enough of abysmal ticket sales and just close their operations at Southend ?
