Warnings have been there for a while, but it looks like they are a goner.

Southampton airport’s runway extension was partly for providing resilience in this exact situation. If it was accessible to other single aisle jet carriers like EZY and RYR, they could at least step in and pick up some of the high load factor routes.

Southampton is my favourite airport. Like you say, park up and walk in 30 mins before your flight, breeze through security, and pretty much step straight onto the plane. No charade of women with painted faces forcing perfume and Toblerone upon you. If only all airports could be like that.

Newcastle is like this, canny little airport.
