SEN reporting on their social media page that they are having intermittent problems with their luggage system at check in. As a result pax are advised to turn up at least 2 hours prior to departure.

They were reporting that problem around 2 weeks ago. I guess it hasn't been fixed or the fault has returned. Also they recommend that people turn up 2 hours before departure even when the baggage system is working.

they advise to arrive 2 hours before because of the security checks, at least during the morning rush.

According to Routesonline the final Antwerp flight will be on August 30th with the final Caen on 6th January. No mention of any other Flybe changes from SEN but a long list of changes/dropped routes over the Flybe network.

BE’s flights to CFR are no longer available to book for travel after 6th January. Does anyone know of this is a seasonal adjustment or has the route been dropped?
Flights to NQY also dropped from the same date. Was this route not launched as operating year round?

I'm sure I read that the Flybe franchise at SEN ends in March 2020 so those routes ending may be part of that.

This might be the acid test to see how well the SEN base is doing.
Doubt it will affect STN but LTN might be interesting as well.

Both CFR and NQY just take a mid-winter break in services. CFR recommences 10th February and NQY 14th March. As far as next summer is concerned all will be revealed in due course but I have no idea what is planned for SEN as far as Virgin Connect, or whatever it will be called, is concerned.

May 2019 shows international pax numbers 66% up on the same period last year. Domestic down 12%, but that's only around 1,500 and, as has been pointed out, Loganair did not commence services at the beginning of the month.

And I'm sure that there will be clauses in the contract that will give Ryanair a get out if the base isn't performing to their expectations or they need the aircraft elsewhere.

Posted in another forum since the arrival of FR to SEN pax numbers have increased by nearly 60% in the second quarter. So the load factors appear to be healthy, however yield may be something else.

Bilbao is by far the worst at 90.9 average (48%). The mediocre ones are Dublin at 123.8 (65.5%), Brest at 125.5 (66.4%) and Copenhagen at 130.8 (69.2%). Everything else was between 77-85% full.

For the routes FR operate without competition CAA stats show loads are generally OK but some are better than others.
