Future

Ok the recent decision by BE to open a base at BOH (albeit with our crews) may be a kick in the teeth I personally see it as suicidal from their point of view.


I have long believed that BE needs SOU more than SOU needs it. With a change of owner and hopefully therefore a future free from being a LHR outpost perhaps this is the motivation SOU needs to wake up and start making the most of its strengths? Investment in new bigger stands and an approach to EZY would be hugely successful in my opinion. SOU has an extremely fertile catchment with money to burn to get to second homes or to visit new places. EZY could make this happen whilst also keep the business crowd happy. Anyone else agree this is win win?
