Wrong.
There is nothing to stop Ryanair opening a route from SEN.

Also, surely SEN management would have to be "onboard" with Ryanair too?
Are there not runway length issues for the B738?

As for airport management being onboard with airlines !!!!!...........since when has this been a requirement.

Given they supposed to be flying into Alterhein with a shorter airport how is it an issue ?
You say "supposed to" - so are they flying into Alterhein, or are they not? Didn't see anything on Alterhein or Ryanair's websites.

is it not upto sen managment to to say who they want or dont want
Do you think LHR should be able to turn around to LH and say we prefer BA/IB so you can't fly in here ?

Maybe because they see the possibility of greater economic benefits to them as an airport by encouraging Easyjet with their larger aircraft to open more routes than a much smaller gain for another part of the group with smaller aircraft on one route.

Why on earth would the company that owns Southend Airport and virtually owns Aer Arann (and saved it out of Administration) let another airline take the route to Dublin, Aer Arann's home base?
The 738 would be extremely payload restricted out of SEN and it's misleading just to quote a runway paved length as being the deciding factor. It's TODA and LDA that generally decide the issue and they are often quite different to paved length.
Belfast City's distances impose, I believe, payload restrictions on the 738 yet the TODAs and LDAs there are considerably in excess of those at SEN.
It would obviously be physically possible for Ryanair to operate from SEN with a very restricted pax payload but I simply cannot see it happening because the restrictions would be just too great.

That's what you're saying. Also wanting to protect their own airline, or "protectionism" is I am fairly sure, illegal once you start putting barriers in the way of the other guy.
Yes the B738 is restricted but if FR saw fit to, the Republic of Ireland is do-able from SEN easily. Would the public choose Aer Arann? I doubt it!

Yeh I'm quite surprised July figures are down again on last year, and more than likely will be down again next year when there is more competition from Belfast city and baby

Easy Jet to Kefalonia?? True or false?
Taken from a Greek site, any truth in this??
"It has been announced that Easyjet will be flying to Kefalonia next year!!
Those of us with EOT licences have already been contacted to confirm this."
