I have no idea who the operator would be, but I don't much benefit in operating anything less than an ATR42 ... the operating costs are essentially the same for the ATR42 vs Saab340/DO328 which would be the only reasonable alternatives, so you may as well get the extra 18 seats for free!

Four of the world's eight happiest airports are in the UK (but none are in London) | City A.M.
But sadly no London airports won...
Wideroe have announce a 4x weekly new route between Stansted and Kristiansand in Norway using a Dash 8 / Q400. Flights are Mon, Thu, Fri and Sun which suggests it will be leisure point-to-point focussed and start on 13-Aug-2018. Until then, Wideroe do not fly to any London airports.
This should have been an aircraft, airline and destination that was well within Southend's grasp and very much business that Southend should have been able to win

Five cancellations this afternoon/evening:
Manchester (2)
Dublin (1)
Glasgow (1)
Rennes (1)
What goes on? Has the expected fog arrived already at these locations? Anyone know?

MAN cancellations were due to Fog at Manchester today. 100M via this morning and hasn't improved much all day. This afternoon there was a runway closure due to essential maintenance on 23R whilst 23L has no ILS so was of no use in low vis.

Flybe from Prague delayed 3hours due to the outbound diverting to Dresden.
Sat and watched it on arrival at Prague, entered the approach sector down to 4000ft then climbed out direct Dresden. Vis at the time 500m. Did not even enter the hold. Had it done so the vis went back up to 1200m within 10mins. All other aircraft, 170,737,320,319,DASH8 continued and landed.
Passengers of loaded in Dresden and sent by road to Prague (2 hours+).
No communication from Flybe regarding the issue at Prague. A few pissed off pax, Me included.
Flybe must be a VFR airline! Lol

Plus 2 Flybe Dash8s. I was surprised the Swiss diverted all the way back to Geneva after only one missed approach. As a passenger I would rather get down at SEN or STN that return to point of departure. More low cloud and fog expected later but that might also affect SEN.
