Gander or whatever stopover point is not a hub. You have pax enplaning in one city who are generally flying to one other city.
Icelandair offers free stopovers in KEF and they market tour packages for Iceland. Is SCY marketing tour packages for their stopover city?

This is a just another stupid idea from a company barely holding on.
Oh and EOS was a good airline and the service was top notch! They just had zero marketing and advertising.

This flight is once a week for two months. Only 8 or 9 total flights, perhaps in conjunction with a tour company and they are selling extra seats; just like USA3000. They have spare capacity in the summer so they are putting it to use
