SOUTHEND - 2
I believe Jetisfaction intend obtaining their own AOC by next Spring, operating ATR42 equipment. The B1900D has been disposed of recently and long-established operator Skytaxi of Poland will be supplying the Saab 340s on an ACMI basis in the interim. There are a number of examples of start-up airlines beginning in this fashion, so I don't see it necessarily as being the concern which virgin blue seems to be suggesting.
I don't think there is quite a parallel with Manx 2, as they seem to have no intention of obtaining their own AOC and use multiple carriers to operate their routes, rather than just one.
Jetisfaction is no longer included in JOIN Regional Airlines plans.

That's one of the Beech 1900D Orange Aircraft Leasing has been operationg for a couple of years. As said, this aircraft was leased by Jetisfaction for the short lived flights earlier this year (and for some promo work, hence the stickers). The recently announced flights will not be operated by Orange Aircraft Leasing, but by Skytaxi form Poland.

DUB debate
Notice a DUB debate on easyJet thread. In my opinion the most appropriate carrier for SEN-DUB would be either Flybe or Aer Lingus Regional using 70 seat turboprops. I doubt easyJet would be able to sustain the bloodbath that Ryanair would undoubtedly unleash at STN (DUMPING CAPACITY AND FARES) up the road until easyJet pull off any SEN-DUB.
Ryanair seem willing to avoid Flybe DUB services from other regional airports: SOU (they came off BOH-DUB), EXT, CWL (despite BRS services) etc etc

BE is one to watch as far as FR is concerned, I think BE know what they are in terms of being a regional airline and rarely deviate from that. Dash 8 Q4 is very cost effective and on thin routes alot more effective than a 738 in this regard.

I didn't see a news link to this story posted anywhere on here, despite the fact it was published in the local rag over a week ago. Couple of interesting little tidbits in there...
How Alan planned easyJet's move to Southend airport (From Echo)
Focus groups held which gave positive feedback about catchment area and wider usage; in the process of finalising 2 more routes to take the number up to 10; and the possibility of further routes if the initial 10 prove successful.
It's looking good.

I see from the Carlisle thread that Stobart have tabled documents with Carlisle City Council proposing to commence scheduled services from CAX to Southend , Dublin and Belfast. SEN would be the first of these, with the aim of starting "before the Olympics."

Fugly is all I can say.
I think its a hybrid colour scheme. I definitely saw that colour scheme on a spanish SF340 at Seville about 8 years ago. Cant remember who it was though....

Remaining Easyjet routes?
Still waiting for those last two routes from U2 to be announced. Anyone else got any more information? I'm praying and hoping for Berlin SXF as this would make my life so much easier (and cheaper!).

I haven't read that letter but note on the SAEN website they are now complaing about the footpath only going as far as the bus stop on one side of the road (the other side footpath runs whole length!!!).
As for the tesco's car park when was it ever easy to get out of? 2am or something.

The truth seems to be that the difficulty getting out of the Tesco car park was mainly down to the fact that the filter lane from Tescos to Nestuda Way on the A127 roundabout was coned off that day - nothing whatever to do with the new airport relief road.
