Yes, indeed. That's quite straightforward; I'd read your earlier post and didn't feel it needed saying in this context since it was obvious. No reason why it can't work with higher fares though (they are only £30 or so at the moment), and a route which has been operating for less than a year having an average LF of 83 should surely be attractive to some operator - better timings would help; currently the weekday flights leave SEN at 1935 and leave EDI at 2115. With Royal Bank of Scotland having a large presence in Southend you might expect an early morning departure and mid-evening arrival to attract business traffic. Although those are the most popular timings, of course, SEN-EDI would surely be profitable given a fair chance......
