Yes moving the Luton route was not a good idea, however I feel Stobart needed to make the move to give credibility to its passenger operation at SEN. It didn't work out but I think the only real loser is poor old Waterford airport, the fact that a couple of operators haven't made the route work over the past couple of years shows how hard it is to make a route work from a small base/catchment!
