Currently BE has very big gaps in the NQY schedulea so something is up.
At 1100/1105 the have BHX & LGW departing daily plus the STN on those days. However they currently only base/nightstop 1 Q400 at NQY.
It looks like the based Q will operate MAN X1 and LGW x1, however they either need to change schedules around or add aircraft and routes to NQY.
MD of NQY was quoted two weeks ago as saying that they expected to make an announcement shortly ref new and expanded routes so who knows.
It's entirely possible that SEN could return for summer15 if BE base extra aircraft at NQY or on a SEN based ATR.

Yes Berne wasn't good at all, but I make it about 11.9 (37%). There has been some promotion though lately and the ski season is virtually here, so December figures will be interesting.
None of the Stobart routes look great, I'd imagine the delay in release of Summer 15 might be linked to thorough reviews of the network and the change of leadership - are the SEN routes the reason for the Chief Exec's departure?
The only routes that look like they have any future are Groningen (around 36 per flight), Rennes (about 33.6 per flight), and Munster (31).
Caen did OK in the summer but approx 23 suggests it has little place in winter, Maastricht I can believe only had 434 (14.5) which is why it has gone Fri and Sun only and Antwerp has picked up (24.2) but that is still far too low and frequencies have been slashed. I think the latter two routes will go.
DUB actually held up quite well in terms of pax per flight, though LF suffers on the larger aircraft - around 2,938 would mean around 34 per flight.

The major reason for the poor CFR figures for November is that the winter scheduling is difficult to sell with traditional weekend breaks not being possible for example. It was really a matter of one route within the route network having to have the difficult timings and CFR was that route. Hopefully the soon to appear S15 frequencies/scheduling will be more user-friendly.
Over the first six months of the Stobart Air/Flybe operation the CFR load factor was 51%, second only to RNS at 53%, with GRQ at 49% (my figures). All of those routes show potential for growth in S15.

Think they only have 2 aircraft based at Southend so a 50% cutback doesn't look good.
Stobart's venture into running an airline to put passengers though Southend seems to be biting them where it hurts. With the latest Dublin news it can only be a matter of time before this route is also killed off.

If there is to be a withdrawal of one aircraft in mid-January I should imagine that may be only temporary until the S15 timetable comes into operation. I don't see how CFR, GRQ, FMO and RNS can be operated in the summer by one aircraft.
