Would you really want a bully like Ryanair to dominate SEN too. Easyjet a lot more civil to fly with and With allocated searing on the cards makes it even better too. Ryanair have a grip on most airports and ruin competition for others. Apparently they are down 20% according to new finances released. Keep SEN from going down that route I'd say
New Executive Handling Facilities
The new executive FBO facilities resulting from the re-development of the arrivals area in the old passenger terminal have now been completed and are open for business.

SEN to Carlisle
SEN to the Lake District likely to join SEN to the Med.....
Stobart gets go-ahead for Carlisle Lake District Airport (From The Westmorland Gazette)

I liked this quote from Andrew Tinkler:
"Additional Group revenue streams will be realised as we link Carlisle and Southend airports to give passengers seamless connections to Europe.”
You have to hand it to Stobarts for their contrarian investment philosophy .

I wonder if easyjet has been lines up to start from here as well or maybe Ryanair has been approached
I don't think easyjet could sustain flights to Belfast from here but possibly regional could do a flight to BHD especially since EI is moving there

Unfortunately I think Mr Tinkler has a lot to learn about the aviation world i.e. ´seamless´´ went out of the window years ago. Does he honestly think he is going to make money on a Carlisle-Southend route? There again he might want to use it for tax reasons heaven forbid. I also have an interest in shipping and you want to hear some of the comments made in the shipping media about Stobart. For example quote ´´the company operates the Mersey Multimodal Gateway, a major inland port at Widnes´´ Widnes - a major inland port? - you are joking! Hasn´t seen a ship for ages.

And now back to SEN!

Cant wait for the CAX route, I live in Essex and my family live in Cumbria, to take the car costs a bomb and takes about five and a half long hours.
As long as I can book a return flight for around £100 ill be more than happy

Quite agree SWBKCB about the road freight depot it is the aviation side that concerns me. Sorry to say IMHO it just will not work - why he put all that money into Aer Arrean God only knows. I suppose the old maxim comes to mind - how do you make your first million in aviation - start with 2 million!
AeroMad don´t be so touchy - LTNman probably only joking - maybe an upgrade to a Piper PA-31 Navajo if demand warrants!

A sense of humour is indeed a vital asset, but when another poster with a history of slagging off somewhere which is ultimately proving to be jolly successful makes frankly silly comments to be passed off as 'jokes', I'm afraid I simply don't see what there is to laugh at... the fact is that an ATR 42 will probably easily be filled on SEN-CAX. The only possible 'torment' being suffered is that arising from Southend's success

Aeromad -
ATR42 - say 40 seats.
Twice daily Mon-Fri, once at weekends = 12 flights a week. (Fewer would make the route unattractive to business users)
12 x 40 = 480 passengers each way, each week, every week, even November and February.
That's a very big ask, especially at decent yields.
