SEN have been chasing Jet2 to open a base here within the last few years, probably because they have a fleet that can operate from SEN's runway. Would an on-site maintenance facility of their own make a base more viable in the future?

Putting commercial flights aside, The Dart Group private plane (G-IFIT) was spotted at SEN on 21/12/15 and made another visit on 31/12/15 (MAN-SEN-LBA) so maybe that has fueled speculation. Regardless, it would be nice to see the hangar back in use and jobs returning to the site asap.
