You need to get a map out or learn some geography, because you have never heard of Quimper what makes you think anyone else hasn't!
Surely there are loads of destinations worldwide that may not be familiar to a lot of people but st the same time a lot of people know those destinations.
Perhaps COMPTON3BRAVO IS RIGHT it's down to pure ignorance

Quimper, very much a niche market route.
High on my priority list would be Frankfurt by Lufthansa, Amsterdam by KLM and Paris CDG by Air France to link in with long haul. Dublin by Aer Lingus again for the same reasons.

And 2 Sea Air departures scheduled to Munich today. I am very tempted to book a Sea Air trip myself now - if - in my ignorance - I can resist the attractions of Quimper that is! Having consulted Google it does actually look worthy of a visit.
It is a very nice area to visit - book a flight SEN-RNS and a hire car for a few days.
If I was still living near SEN I probably would actually book a SEN-MUC-SEN for Tuesday.

Thank you Expressflight. Have to say though - Sea Air would probably offer me the only chance in my life to fly in a Citation. The more I think about it - the more likely I am to book!

Guys, playing around here with both SEN website and Skyscanner. What airline is doing that Quimper destination, Flybe? Into Quimper, ye? Looking into a jolly for a weekend trip, wine, good food, R&R.It's a tough life
Just a suggestion but I would fly into RNS, hire a car and stay overnight in Vannes (lovely walled city) then drive to Quimper next day for lunch and back to RNS if it's literally a weekend break. Lovely scenery and fantastic food of course. Bonnes vacances.
BA fly London City - Quimper 4x per week in the summer. Nice town to visit and convenient if you want to visit Carnac or other places in south Brittany
If you want to fly a Citation and have a high level of certainty that a flight will operate, look at Hahn Air between Luxembourg and Dusseldorf

I don't understand how Sea-Air pax are coping with this. Two hours ago on the departures board for their 2nd flight to Munich it didn't say "check in" it said "go to ticketing office". At first that suggested to me that the flight would be cancelled, but now the dep board is showing a 45 minutes delay. It will be interesting to see if it goes. As a matter of interest, can a scheduled carrier cancel a flight because of unprofitable loads? I thought passenger rights are protected.
This seems to be the return flight of a one-off Vagar-Gatwick scheduled flight which was announced last month. The Vagar-Gatwick sector seems to have been flown on 27th May with the return planned for today. I don't know why it seems to have been re-routed to depart Southend instead.
Edit: Yes, I can confirm that seems to be the case as the LGW departures board shows RC411 at 14:25 but with a note 'Enquire Airline' in the status box. I recall that Atlantic were a target airline for SEN management a couple of years ago when they operated a weekly Vagar-Stansted service which has since ceased.

There is an Atlantic charter flight into Gatwick from Nice today - presumably connected with the Monarco grand Prix as it operated the outbound flight on Friday - but it does not return to Gatwick until much later in the day. The plot thickens!
.... and just to thicken it a little more there is the RC750 due to depart LGW at 17:10 which also shows 'Enquire Airline'. Maybe the SEN flight is just a charter and it's simply a case of coincidence.
