There is a German word for it SSB... 'schadenfreude'.. Obtaining pleasure from other's discomfort. One can almost hear you rubbing your hands together! SEN is growing and will keep growing, but it has it's own market and can never compete with your beloved STN. So show a bit of generosity because for some of us your continuing downer on other airports is becoming rather tedious.

Can't really see why this is any form of slight towards SEN. I don't know the full details but these must be routes that BA wish to operate and Stobart have secured a (I assume) valuable contract to provide a full ACMI service. Had Stobart not done so someone else would have.
So BA have plans to expand at LCY. Well, nothing SEN can do could prevent that. And it isn't as if Stobart have pulled aircraft out of Essex to work for BA. Clearly, they have sourced the aircraft specifically for this work alone.
And you never know, all this may enhance the prospects of a couple of BA aircraft being kept busy at the weekend at SEN.

Yes. Start up is delayed one week for some reason. Never rely on FR24 for schedules. Refer only to the Southend Airport website. ( I see Jota have a passenger charter flight out to Poland later).

Interesting that reality is portrayed as a "continuing downer" on here.
Reality suggests 40 further positions being created at LCY by the latest Stobart venture.
Positive & welcome news.

I hadn't seen a commencement date previously for the Stobart E190 LCY operations but the Stobart LSE statement issued this morning says 16th November. Than sounds rather sooner than I would have anticipated.

Ironically the final month of Chateauroux was its strongest, although an average of 15 pax isn’t great.
That is the problem with a small operator starting a previously unserved route. In its first season unless they have the finance to promote and market it sufficiently beforehand it will struggle. I suspect very few of the passengers were of UK domicile as they simply wouldn't have found the route unless they entered 'Chateauroux' in an online travel portal and that they would be unlikely to do unless that small city was their specific destination.
