SOUTHEND Airport has landed a prestigious European award.
The ERA (European Regions Airline Association) Airport Achievement Award 2010 recognises the airport's work to secure planning permission for an extension to the runway which will increase passenger numbers to 2million.
Airport Managing Director Alastair Welch said: "It’s an exciting time for the airport right now as we are now beginning to see all the developments we have been planning and working towards finally starting to happen.
"This award from Europe’s leading Airline Association demonstrates with the interest that there is in Southend’s future and the role the airport can play in further regeneration of the area.”
