until now, I have not commented on the Stobart Air speculation of planned routes. There is no point. Wait another week and we will all see the answers, whether we agree they are sensible viable or not.
What I want to say, as a non expert in airline operations is this.
If I won the dream 150 million euros on the lottery I always had a dream to set up an airline from my home town SEN.
Lessons can be learnt perhaps. For example, if EZY showed that on the Belfast, Edinburgh and Newquay routes that they cant fill a 155 seater A319, but did achieve average loads of 90+ pax, then if I was to operate 50/70 seater aircarft I would surely stand a good chance on those unwanted routes.
I believe Stobart Air will jump in on a couple of those unwanted EZY routes, plus a couple of new destinations. There is no point me guessing. All will be announced next week. We can all say crazy things or may be opinions, but at the end of the day, we should wish the airline good luck and prosperity, not slag them off just because for some they haven't come to your local airport.
