A wide burger range - says it all about the eating habits of the Great British public! Dropping the Laker name - how could they - outrageous - for all what he did for the airport and aviation in general.

I have to agree. Even though it’s now been taken on by a large operator, there’s no excuse for not retaining the Lakers name. Wetherspoons don’t seem to have a problem with individual names at sites that reflect the building’s past or something locally significant. I suspect someone in corporate office or their brand consultancy has said “what the hell is Laker, we need something bang on point for an airport, a bit retro so it’s trendy...oh yes, the Navigator”. Credit where it’s due though for stocking local beers. |
I suppose you could name the terminal after Freddie Laker, but what would Mr Tinker feel about it?
Possibly the way around this dilemma would be to name the access road, The Andrew Tinkler Way. Or maybe The Andrew Tinkler Baggage Reclaim Hall would keep everyone happy. |

With Tinkler having been booted out by the Stobart Air board I don't think his wishes will carry much weight. |
Winter Adria Paderborn schedule will stop on 6 Jan may be re-instated Summer 2019 depending on advance bookings
|
No surprise there. It was a strange time to start a new schedule.

Adria/Paderborn..."may be re-instated Summer 2019 depending on advance bookings"...
A rather catchall rather dubious statement of intent. May they perhaps consider future ops from STN with their projected new SSJ`s?. |

If they did it would be equally as unsuccessful unless they improve their schedule and lower their prices. |

Good news, though I’ve got a feeling they announced STN previously and it never came to fruition. This will be SEN’s first late departure, going out at 22:40 on Tuesday and Friday. Connections to Moscow are also on sale. |

I don’t think I’ve seen it reported but Cagliari is dropped next year. So Air Malta will be 5x weekly - 2x weekly Catania and 3x weekly Malta. |
To me KIV-SEN seems an odd choice of route. |

Isn't this the sort of market SEN was after - new entrants which want an alternative to the other LON airports?
|
The connection to MOSCOW could be a good thing if the timing is right and to be able to book a thru ticket,,,,SEN -MOSCOW BRING IT ON

Yes but your choice of routes needs care. A small market already well covered at two other LON airports doesn't tick many boxes with me.

London-Moscow is about 4 hours flying time.
Going via Chisinau adds at least an hour of flying time without even considering time for an aircraft to climb/descend or time changing planes I've flown with FlyOne and AirMoldova - neither is luxurious. If Easyjet can't make London-Moscow work, then along with the plethora of options via places like Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Copenhagen it will be very hard to persuade people to buy Southend-Chisinau-Moscow unless the price is very low |

On the same day Wizz announced a new route to Catania from Luton (did Air Malta know) and increasing the Chisinau service from nine to ten weekly. I think Air Moldova will need all the luck they can muster.
|
It's never good to read that a route will end, but I see Air Malta's decision to continue into the summer of 2019 as a real positive. Or looked at from another way, had they called it a day that would have been a kick in the teeth for SEN.

Glyn Jones has been quiet for so long I wondered if he'd been poisoned by a dodgy cockle or whelk from Old Leigh. Here he seems back to his best:

It looks to me that the Air Malta SEN - Cagliari service has only been suspended for the winter. The Air Malta timetable shows it resuming on March 31 then continuing through S19 .
So the KM schedule for SEN summer 2019 is daily. 3 x MLA non stop, 2 via CTA, 2 via CAG |

Can KM make MLA non-stop without payload limits?

Cagliari
tophat......What have you heard differently? I have just had a poke around on Air Malta's booking site and every time I tried Southend to Cagliari for June next year I got redirected to Heathrow flights. Obviously not saying you're wrong, but what goes on?
