Flights between Paderborn and London have operated for far longer than they haven’t and for a long time supported a daily 737. Unfortunately such low frequency on an off-peak schedule with high fares and no marketing is only going to end badly.

I do tend to agree. Very little marketing in Essex. I don't know about the German side.

This should be fun. Share price down to 190p today on the back of the news of the High Court action.
LONDON (Alliance News) - A UK judge is preparing to oversee a High Court battle involving a multimillion-pound infrastructure business which started up in an isolated Lake District village half a century ago.
Bosses at Stobart Group PLC, which began life when founder Eddie Stobart went into business as an agricultural contractor in Hesket Newmarket, Cumbria, in the 1960s, have sued former chief executive Andrew Tinkler.
They say Tinkler conspired with other businessmen to harm the company's interests.
Bosses have also have made claims about money spent on air travel, and want a judge to rule that he was lawfully dismissed.
Tinkler, who was chief executive of the business between 2007 and 2017, denies wrongdoing, saying he was removed for no good reason, and has counter-claimed.
Judge Jonathan Russen is set to start overseeing a trial in London on Monday.

Worth having a look at the Flybe thread which shows a bar chart of their UK operation . Seems their SEN routes are a horror story of massive loses and is their worst performing airport. I wasn't expecting that!

The chart only compares fare revenue per route with estimated operating cost for each route (cost of fuel, aircraft, overhead etc). It doesn't take into account any subsidy paid by Stobart (or Cardiff Airport, or whoever) - how could it? So it could be that the SEN routes are profitable for flyBE, just that the profit is not coming from the fare revenue...

Fare revenue to the airline, based on the (estimated) average fare charged to the punters. The guys making the chart know that x,000 passengers flew from A to B in September. Their system crawls over the web booking engine on a regular basis from a few months out looking at how much the fare is for all the dates in September. They make some assumptions about the booking curve, i.e. how many people book how long before the flight on which days (and this is where the biggest inaccuracies come in). This lets them estimate roughly how much revenue the airline gets from selling tickets.

The SEN data I would assume fails to take into account ancillary income from car parking and terminal spend which I would imagine to be considerable. For sure it’s loss making, but not as extreme as made out

Yes they are all Stobart Air routes. I don’t think any were new in 2018 but all E195 routes from 2017 that carried on did considerably better in terms of loads. The ATR routes also tick over nicely and it’s these which will continue except MAN which is going, to be replaced by 2x daily Rennes (currently op by the E195) and Newquay. MAN hasn’t been the total disaster though many thought it would, there were 49 for example on board my flight last week. Loads have been variable though, my 15 flights have ranged from 10 to 65.
Still not a great to be bottom of the list.
I might as well be at work
The based EZY fleet mix has changed slightly recently and now comprises 2 x A319 and 2 x A320ceo. An A320neo will arrive in a few days but I don't know if that is a permanent replacement for one of the A320ceo.
