As I have intimated previously and fully agree with you all, it beggars belief why SOU are not putting money in to airside improvements, of which are long overdue and would almost certainly reap rewards very quickly. Easy have dangled a big orange carrot in front of the airport management/AGS and if they still refuse to invest then this could be seen as negligence. With regards to airlines that come and go, SOU is not the only airport to have been affected by this and airlines/routes have been and will always be tested for load factors and yield levels. For all Flybe's faults, they have been a good fit for the SOU model up to now and could still be if they can sort out their many issues. The one underlying priority that SOU requires is competition, both from a choice of destination and price perspective, and this is where a LCC like Easy could thrive, again dependant on much of the above. The airport has never been in a healthier position from a passenger footfall and transport link stand point and it would really be a shame if this was not taken full advantage of now!
