You wanted Alicante, we're giving you a... PUMPKIN CARVING COMPETITION! 🎃
Not quite the same thing (we're sorry) but here's to some fun this Halloween season.
The above is from the airport’s Twitter feed. Is it me, or are they losing the plot.

It was a flawed (floored) business model, based on the principles of airport of last resort. It doesn’t mean SEN can’t succeed, it just means it will be harder when there is capacity around London.

So the same as this year then. There will come a point when the Blackpool solution will be implemented.
Does SEN still have any active flying clubs or were they booted out to make way for the airliners?

Not the same. AGP reduced to 4 X week from 6. Faro has increased from 2 X week to 4 September only. No flights currently on Tuesdays or Saturdays. So when you said in a previous post it is a floored business model you are literally correct IMO. Whether it is fair to say it was flawed prior to Covid is another debate.
All this talk of ALC, will they or won't they, is laughable and make zero difference to SEN's prospects either way.

It looks as though there will be a new route announcement, perhaps AMS (despite what I said before) or JER. Unless anyone has any other suggestions as to why FAO arrives at 16:30 and departs at 20:15?

Great to see someone’s on the ball and dealing with facts. A lot of emotion on here at the moment.
My money would be on JER. I cannot see any point in operating SEN-AMS twice a week.

It rises to 4x weekly in Sep, although perhaps the schedule will be further revised. Thinking about it due to Brexit it would be AMS. I’m not sure they could do JER on an EU reg?

You could be right - I haven’t a scoobie. Worth pointing out though that Jersey has never been part of the EU neither is it in the UK.

I don't think it would be Cabotage (which would almost certainly not be permitted) as Jersey is not a part of the UK but has a separate international identity. I'm guessing that SEN-JER-SEN would operate within Fifth Freedom rules under easyJet's EU AOC, although things may be different nowadays.

AMS if it has to go via a remote runway would never make 40 mins turnaround either, more like 60-70 mins in AMS on a good day.

I agree that a 30 mins turnround in AMS could be problematical but EZY are scheduling 30 mins at AMS for next summer.

Article from September but still relevant.
Painful to report but SEN is by far Europe’s worst performing airport in terms of Covid recovery, when compared to 350 airports.
