If you want to make sure they get through security....
so thats bag drop. Then a wait from distance where you can’t see them whilst you wait for a text saying they made it through
yup all airports should provide free parking for that

When there is only one ATR flight scheduled (possibly with not many people on it) is there anything open airside? Certainly the cafe in arrivals was shut when I was on the sole arrival from MAN last month.

No,one cares about arrivals.. zero value

Not quite true...if it were the cafe wouldn’t be there, and other airports wouldn’t have BK, Costa, M&S etc when you exit. Or indeed duty free in some places

Opinions please guys!

you may have been following the DTV thread and the possibility of Stobarts becoming the operator ?

Any observations on how they have done running SEN?

Now nearer £200m. Just goes to show what a few quid can do!!

So how many of those using the short term can actually pick up or drop off in 5 minutes if there is a queue? The reason it is so short is to maybe catch people out so the airport can pick up a charge.

Except most people will choose the shorter route. I see the short term used to have 15 minutes free but I guess too many cars could get in and get out in that time.

Used it once, took about 2 minutes. Assuming double the pax brings double the traffic, that’s 4 minutes. Perfectly ample

Single exit barrier and time of day comes to mind. Just takes one driving sitting there pressing the intercom.

Jesus. You can drop people off at Mac Donald’s round the corner and they can walk from there. It’s probably a shorter walk than the sh.tshow that is Stansted post security

Am I missing something? Glyn Jones in the Echo article mentions the Guernsey route as the third new route achieved in January alone. What were the other two?

Anyway, imho Guernsey has been missing from SEN’s schedules for far too long, although whether there will be enough demand to justify a daily service remains to be seen. I would have thought a Saturday, Sunday and one midweek rotation would possibly satisfy demand, although I hope to be proved wrong.

If you're missing something then so am I. I'm sure there haven't been two other new SEN routes announced this month - yet (maybe he's getting ahead of himself).

Ryanair Winter 2019 has just gone on sale, perhaps that might be the source of any other new routes? They tend to drip-feed them.

That interview is quite dated now. It also looks as though their passenger profiling is flawed regarding catchment moving west. I wonder how many of those are people like myself who book corporately but live locally. There aren’t many residents in the EC postcodes.
