Yes. Everything is on schedule and NOTAMs are out stating the runway closure dates and times.

The people of the marine estate in Leigh on sea would complain about the noise of a nearby bees nest ..
They were renowned for their anti station parking antics and have managed to secure some natty new concrete steps to save them all ten minutes walk to the station down belton way..
If ryan air decided to come in 200 feet lower the rest of Leigh on sea would get deck chairs out, sit on marine parade and laugh

Re-surfacing of the runway in the 80's was as you say Express Flight carried out during the day (duration 3-4 days) for that exact reason

I’m sure a week or two back I saw an Airbus A400 atlas leaving SEN as I was walking the dog in Belfairs wood .
Can anyone confirm this?

Ryanair changes

I read that Ryanair have changed their Corfu schedule from SEN next year from Tuesdays and Saturdays to Tuesdays and Sundays instead, which has got bad reaction from some who have already booked their ground packages and must either change or cancel. Are any of the other destinations affected?

I'd have thought that they'd announce it on a Thursday.

Anyone know why MAN has swapped to an E195 two days in a row with the ATR going to DUB? I thought perhaps to switch aircraft but the same one came straight back. I also thought football but there don’t seem to be any relevant fixtures.

Odd no news on who has bought what in Flybe, and whether that will affect SEN ops next year.

This doesn't make good reading, but does it suggest a slightly more sober approach?

Attracting business to the airport is one thing but making a profit out of that business is quite another.

ive been pointing out for a few years now that the selling of the family silver cannot go on forever and that operational profits are needed .however this announcement is more bad news - "we don't have any operational profits to distribute so we will tighten our belts and eke out the remaining family silver". One can only assume the FR deal will take longer to generate profits than expected .

Who is to say it will make any money at all with the Stobart relying on cups of tea sold and everyone arriving by car. When airports grow the cowboy parking companies get involved with offsite parking so the airport earns nothing.

Can't think of many successful airports with empty car parks?

What they've been doing, up to now, has been downright irresponsible. Paying dividends out of asset sales rather than profits in order to artificially boost the share price, when they should have been re-investing in the business.

Since they've been claiming that the dividend will be supported by earnings by (correct me if I'm wrong) 2020, then reading between the lines profitability has been pushed back.
