Of course if the extra Jota aircraft are put into service is does not be readily mean that the aircraft will operate from Southend so let us not get ahead of ourselves. It all depends on what contracts they can acquire for the aircraft, after all that is Jota's area of operation, have aircraft will fly to/from - i.e. HOP in France plus the 'problem' getting suitable!e qualified crews (they have been advertising for quite a long time now).

One source suggested that the current plan is to base two at SEN and the other two elsewhere but I gained the impression that this may be only the provisional plan rather than anything definite.

Calm before the storm? EZY winter schedule out on Thursday. Will that 4th Airbus stay at SEN? If they plan to operate 4 there may be one or two surprises to come.
I nearly forgot.

Tell your friends throughout Europe. 15 minutes walk from the terminal (sober).

Nothing much at first glance. Looks like the usual winter flights to me. I'm sure those with scheduling experience will be commenting soon. Of course, there's always the possibility several new routes will be announced shortly. Or possibly not...
From a quick glance at November it looks like a 4th aircraft is needed on some days. There seem to be no LYS flights but AGP increases to daily and PRG continues at 4 x weekly. Quite a lot of scope for additional routes which would probably be announced later.
Edit: Tagron pointed out elsewhere that the MJV route also continues through the winter this year at 2 x weekly.

I don't intend this as a vote of confidence or otherwise in IGavion but seats were bookable on those flights when I looked few minutes ago.

I think one of FR or EZY will reverse their decision, it wouldn’t take much for FR to put one of their STN-based aircraft to use on the route especially if they are parking some up. I don’t think EZY will add it from SEN. The BE loads have been far from impressive.
On that note, I’ve heard Groningen loads have been very weak. Overall pax numbers only slightly up, but now split three ways.

Had my first experience of flying to/from SEN this week. What a lovely friendly airport you have here. All the staff, security, lounge, shops etc very friendly. Such a pleasant change from the usual chaos, crowding & unpleasantness I experience at many airports. (MAN springs to mind)
