Exactly and that's why it would be a good move by Volotea if they looked into expanding their route network from Southampton, with the possible loss of any Flybe sun routes for 2018 that will obviously create some extra stand availability and the A319 is 'just about' ideal for operations from SOU without too many limitations unless someone in the future 'maybe Flybe' orders the CS100 and decide to fly them out of SOU.
With Volotea having such a large network from it's many European bases the possibility of some of those destinations such as the ones listed in my post 1430 could prove popular from SOU as the airports catchment area is far wider than most assume and a generally wealthy one as well.
I for one wouldn't like to see Flybe closing down any of the sun routes in 2018 and SOU is easily in a position to retain them if another airline came along and was committed to the routes, this would be so beneficial to the airport and then we would possibly see additional routes added and finally reach that 2 Million.
