It's hard to disagree with that. But Stobart have gained considerable experience as a regional airline in the last few years and it's equally hard to imagine the wider group pressing on with yet more capital expenditure on bringing the runway up to an acceptable standard together with the terminal and other works without using their experience to formulate a profit generating plan.
Surely, their experience at SEN has at least taught them that simply investing in airport infrastructure is no guarantee of success.
