If they are trying to become a "franchise flying" platform, who exactly of going to franchise them to fly a network of routes ex-SEN?!
I can, perhaps, at a push see either Brussels A/L or Air France agreeing a non-risk franchise (ie where Arann themselves take the commercial risk on a 2/3 x daily SEN-BRU or SEN-CDG rather than assuming risk via an ACMI)...I think KLM are limited by 'scope clause' to the total number of UK routes they can operate under franchise/code share - but am happy to be corrected on this.
But the point really is that (although worthwhile expansion) it is unlikely to bring much more than one based ATR of they are lucky..
