The revised reduced schedule from Southend to Bern can be seen as a fail-safe plan in case the SEN loads are poor. The departure times are very similar in the evenings so passengers can be roaded to LCY and onto the Saab 2000 via Basel. Where as now they often have 18 passengers, assuming 9 of those might prefer to fly from LCY, that would make SEN route a loss-maker, so that's the end of that then.
I assume Adria have not confirmed a winter schedule despite reasonable loads last month. Plenty of airports with longer runways to poach them away no doubt.
As for Easyjet, still no announcement of new routes for next year, especially to fill the gaps from the seemingly dropped Berlin route (why did this happen?) and dreams of a fourth aircraft based looks remote unless lots more new destinations are tried.
I still believe Copenhagen, Vienna, Rome, Malta, Nice, Prague and Budapest would be popular, not to mention the return of Krakow. (I wonder where all those pax fly from now?).
