This isn't the grand headline people are hoping for but the following airlines have S24 flights on sale at the moment from Southampton already. Good to see Loganair maintaining higher frequencies, and let's remember that they have previously publicly stated that the runway extension will benefit their E145 operations.
Are Lingus/Emerald
Belfast - ~2 daily
Dublin - ~2 daily
BA Cityflyer
Looks similar to S23 - Alicante/Bergerac/Faro/Limoges/Palma/Malaga 1-2 weekly
Blue Islands
Jersey - 3 daily
KLM Cityhopper
Amsterdam - 2 daily
Loganair
Edinburgh - ~5 daily
Glasgow - ~5 daily
Newcastle - ~3 daily
TUI
Palma - 2 weekly (BA Cityflyer)

Indeed, and that is a 'given' I'm afraid for now;
A lot can happen in the next two Quarters -
Much depends on the Economy, Inflation figures and the next Election (plus World events)
I have no wish to pontificate on Politics here with regard to a local Airport's expansion, but IMO some of it is all relevant to any analysis by the Airlines and the Travel Industry,
and also that of the Customer demand too, whether that be the Businessman model, or of the Leisure Traveller.

I've pointed out in the very same post you've quoted that Loganair have publicly stated that the extension will benefit their current operations...
https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/182...ief-executive/
The routes don't 'need' the extension to operate, but if it allows less passengers and bags to be left behind in more extreme weather conditions then Loganair, their passengers and the airport will all benefit from it.

Once these are completed the updated package needs signing off by AGS before the surveyors file it with NATS AIM, who will check data for QA compliance.
Can anyone ascertain if the lighting changes have been completed and successfully flight checked?
In line with CAP 791 CAA will want to see a totally “Completed” document to provide evidence that everything that was promised, and they accepted, has been achieved.
CAA sign off probably still a few weeks away.
Picture 2 of the 1 August series definitely the existing runway surface as the RWY 20 displaced threshold markings clearly visible. That said the pre-threshold paved surface of the original runway may not have been already grooved.

Regarding the approach lighting to runway 20. Will there be any left seeing the runway extension now borders the railway sidings or has it been extended over the railway lines so maintaining the existing runway visual range minimum limits?

BACF has added a short winter program to Bergerac x 1 weekly (Sat) in Dec/Jan utilising the Chambery airframe. Salzburg service seems to only be operating 10/02-17/02

You would think loads must be very low if Eastern are now offering kids go free with a paying adult on ORY. Also no dates on sale after 28/10 so assume route is being canned

The aircraft left SOU this morning to do a charter between Edinburgh and Dublin. It'll go to Orly when it gets back from that merry jaunt. Tells you all you need to know about their priorities of scheduled v charter.
