This is very good news, not least because it makes it possible to do a business trip to say France or Germany and come back the same day.
Fairly obviously the whole thing hangs on a newly set up commercial operator at Shoreham, doing flights to (I believe) Paris. I do wish them success; every previous scheduled venture there failed.
Refreshing to read good airport news, I could get used to that.
Still late. I would like to leave much earlier. 6 would be good.
How many UK airports offer 6am?

You need to have the aircraft left outside overnight ready to go.
It's not just ATC at Shoreham dictating the hours - there's fire service cover and local residents' noise sensitivity.....
Yes, the service is initially Paris Pontoise - see: http://goo.gl/JDokU
Lets hope the weather will come out at a sensible hour now.
It does look like a decent aircraft....19 seats....no toilet though....need a "no drinking before boarding" warning on the boarding pass!
Website looks great, and Pontoise only 16 miles NW of Paris.
Lets wish them every success. Notice the previous op was Skysouth, with a Chieftain.
19 seats may make the economies slightly better, still a very tough market, and looks about 150.00 return.
