Extremely interesting news, if someone had said Flybe were to operate an additional departure point from London I would have put SEN behind LTN and STN in that order.
Also interesting that unless they are shifting or dropping rotations from NQY to BHX/MAN, they need to find an aircraft from somewhere to operate this route as a w, either from NQY or even via a further unannounced route to SEN
I also wonder if this route is purely a standalone summer only tourist route, or a testbed for the future London terminus of the LGW operation once the PSO kicks in. I also wonder if this could be a pre-cursor to more substantial activity at SEN, perhaps BHD/EDI
The other point of interest is that Flybe (and franchise partner) will serve 4 London airports, but with just a single route at each
