Not sure about that. It seems that all flights due to be operated by the E195 have defaulted to very high "All-In" fares. Hopefully this does not continue for too much longer as anyone who becomes aware of the flights following the publicity as each new route commences will surely be put off. For example, a return to Vienna is now showing as nearly £1000

Flybe website now showing 'normal' range of prices.
Not good - bound to have cost a few lost ticket sales. Who knows what went wrong, who to blame? Certainly hope it doesn't happen again any time soon.

Posts #4405 and #4409 talk about new tarmac being laid, the latter suggesting that SEN and tarmac do not go well together. I have had a good nose around this afternoon and there is no sign (as far as I can see) of any new tarmac being laid. The works being carried out on the old and new stands and apron all appear to be a good thick layer of concrete. Perhaps they have learnt from past mishaps.

It's not scientific, or proof of anything much, but I am impressed by the steady increase in prices on the new routes. Venice looked a bit shaky, but is steadily pulling clear from the 'silly base prices'. I would say only DBV seems to be static over the last week or so.
If Stobart pull this off, they'll deserve a great deal of credit.

Unfortunately, the plans aren't available online via Rochford District Council's website. I don't know if anyone else on here has access to them? I'd also be interested in viewing them.

Is that list in order - looks like it initially, but Stansted below Exeter?
Victor reveals Luton to be top UK private jet airport as UK jet charter market booms
This is far from the complete picture - the article claims to be a list of popular
airports for 'private jet charter' - so owners, governments, sheikhs and others
won't be counted....

it does throw doubt on the accuracy of the list though, whatever the criteria might be.
No matter what the criteria of private jet movements is, I can't believe EXT gets more than STN, or MME more than EDI
