I don't mean to spoil the line of conversation but is there much point in just picking out places that Stobart "could" fly to?? I could easily do the same for pretty much any airline from any airport, it doesn't really mean or tell you anything. I think it's just a case of wait and see.


On a slightly different note though, and I can think of probably 1 or 2 people I'm going to get a rollicking from for saying this... but is it not becoming slightly apparent now that SEN is little more than a local departure point for the outbound leisure market?


I'm not just referring to the miserable performance of some of BE's Stobart Air routes and the current absence of their S15 schedule, but also the nature of EZY's network. BFS, EDI, KRK and NQY have been dropped plus GVA is now only a winter ski route. Their route map looks increasingly focussed on the summer sun/beach destinations of Spain and Portugal.


I would like to be proven wrong, but there isn't much to suggest otherwise.
