This is based on assumption only,as time goes on Summer 2024 looks less likely,the airport needs new destinations ,however without a based LCC airline there are great limitations for expansion.

Don't easyJet announce new summer routes around Oct-Dec? Maybe there is still time
and that has always been the case of having the need for 2 sets in my whole airport work career as Duty Officer at both LHR & LGW.
It is news to me that you can today board pax during refuelling with just one set of steps - as you say perhaps nowadays there are varying rules >?
From your nametag do you work for BACF at LCY>?

So as it stands all easyjet services from Southampton end in March. I would have thought easyjet jet would have added something by now but there is still plenty of time.

It will also be interesting to see what impact any summer services to the sun from SOU would have on passenger numbers at BOH. Wasn’t this one of the main reasons why BOH put in a rejection to the extension application?
SOU-MAN canned ?
Oh great, I was just about to plan and book SOU-MAN-SOU flights to visit an old pal in Liverpool !
UGH!
Nothing flying from EXT, nor from BOH to MAN either
But I can fly from SOU to MAN via AMS on KLM, via GCI on Aurigny, or even on AER LINGUS via DUB!!
:P with good connections too

The crews on my SOU-JMK and PMI flights (both the Flight Deck and Cabin) told me they needed 2 sets to board pax during refuelling, so we had to stay crammed to the rafters on the Coach for 10-15 minutes, which was all rather unpleasant ---
and that has always been the case of having the need for 2 sets in my whole airport work career as Duty Officer at both LHR & LGW.

Next time tell the crew to read their Company Ops Manual OMA section 8.2.1.1.2 which states "It is acceptable to use a single set of stairs as long as the other main doors meet the above criteria" (ie. ground beneath exits and slide deployment areas free from obstructions).

There has been no further updates on the airport's runway extension APP since the 11 July. Hopefully your correct with your assumption that the runway extension is scheduled for completion by the date you have quoted. Hopefully the APP will be updated this week with some more recent drone images of the extension.

New runway markings to be applied to the extension, hopefully quickly followed by the airport’s surveyors visiting to verify (for CAA’s benefit) the new runway length + declared distances.
New lighting to be installed on the extension, set up and then flight checked?
Assume surface friction characteristics of new asphalt will need verification?
That all done and paperwork submitted to CAA by mid August, IMHO early/mid September for the NOTAM detailing the new runway dimensions + declared distances to appear to signify that the CAA have signed off the project.
