Credit where credit is due - the CEO is a marketing motormouth. He was also selling the fact that Boeing 737-800s cannot use the airport as a big bonus, not a disadvantage (as he was insinuating - without mentioning it - that this keeps Ryanair out). Could backfire though, given that LCC airlines are sort of growing out of the 150 seater market and are moving into the 200-220 seater market - aircraft which SEN will not be able to accommodate.
