BEs results are for me a final warning to SOU to get their act together and invest airside. I believe having two aircraft of that size in at once is a big stretch for airside operations and for these long standing sun routes to continue SOU need to create better infrastructure for them ASAP. I have my doubts that Volotea could make the routes work on an A319 as Vueling didn't seem to make the Barcelona route work with similar equipment. Does anyone know if a fully loaded A319 can operate on SOU's runway? Does anyone know whether the CRJ 700/900 or 1000 can operate? I know I keep going on about it, but the C series is the answer and Volotea seem like the perfect customer. They operate from secondary bases that other airlines don't see a market from. The c series was created for long thin routes.
