Take Air
How about this?
Take Air Brings Surf Air Model to Europe | Business Aviation: Aviation International News
Asked about London flights, as featured on Take Air’s website, Dardenne said, “We want to do London and we are negotiating with some airports, but every London airport has its restrictions.”

I would have thought Soutgend would suit such an operation, unless they are looking for more of a biz jet experience in which case they may go for an FBO at LTN.

I wonder if SEN will refuse to advertise Air Kärnten until they acquire an AOC or perhaps until the booking engine is launched? I'm sure SEN will want to protect its name, but surely it won't be like OLT Express where they had flights operating but no advertising for them? Wouldn't surprise me if the launch is eventually delayed by the whole AOC process, plus a rather short lead-in time of less than two months won't help.
Some on here will say "You give it that long do you?", but to be serious I don't think anybody can give an informed answer to your question.
A more interesting question might be whether EZY will see SEN as a profitable base for the A320neo in coming years, as it's generally accepted that it will offer better payloads off SEN's runway. If they do then maybe some route growth will be seen at that time if not before.

When EZY arrived in 2012 they stated how it was a viable airport for them and not just for the London Olympics. We've seen how long routes last if they are not profitable/have poor yields etc. so for them to still be here now is a positive sign. Plenty of time now for the base to mature before the neos arrive.

Interesting to see on passing by this morning that there was once again a British Airways aircraft parked up at SEN. Anyone know why? - was it due to limited hours / service at one of the other London airports? Nice to see that they chose SEN above the other "London" options.

Just seen on the SEN website that there is a BA 8211 / 8212 from / to Billund this afternoon (LCY diversion) but presumably the aircraft I saw this morning was an additional diversion?
