When the SEN-CFR route negotiations were being undertaken in 2013 prior to launching the route the possibility of connecting with the DUB-SEN-DUB route was seriously discussed by the CFR negotiating team and Stobart Air. From Basse Normandie it is quite a trek to Paris from where it was possible to route via LCY on Cityjet to DUB and some market research was carried out into the possibility of SEN-CFR-DUB being a better alternative.

Possibly similar discussions took place with the GRQ team at the time.

I'm working on the assumption that CFR and GRQ routes would continue under the Flybe brand on ATRs so the feed into the SEN Cityjet routes would require just one of the four RJ/SU95 fleet operating a multiple daily SEN-DUB route.
