easyJet's expansion at Southend Airport easyJet's expansion at Southend Airport

easyJet has announced expansion plans at Southend Airport which will see the airport adding one more aircraft to the base.

The airline began flights from London Southend this March and since then has flown almost half a million passengers from the airport.

easyJet currently bases three planes at Southend.

The additional Airbus A319 aircraft will arrive at London Southend in June 2013 enabling easyJet to add the popular European cities of Berlin, Germany and Krakow, Poland as part of its 2013 flight programme from London Southend Airport taking the number of aircraft based at the airport to four.

The airline will fly a year-round service to Berlin, a key European business centre, six times a week, every day except Saturdays from the Essex based airport and the inaugural flight will take off on 17 June 2013.

The Krakow route will operate four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays with the first flight on 17 June 2013.

Flights go on sale from Thursday 1 November by clicking here.

i hope that Easyjet will fly to Jerez. Ryanair don't go there in the winter months. Most inconsiderate - there is a demand.
a flight every two weeks would be good and the flight would be full

To be honest, flying from Southend airport just does not have that holiday feel. Id rather go from Heathrow or Gatwick.

Why do some people always come out with the quote of "must be Stobart/Airport staff" if people praise the Airport?
I don't work for either, live half a mile away & have used the Airport once this year.
I've already booked next years Holiday, I can't wait.Looking forward to seeing the expansion to the Terminal.
Best thing to have happened to Southend for years.

It would be good if they would do a flight to Vienna to add to the one that goes from Gatwick. Also a few more European cities such as Cologne, Madrid, Graz (as Ryanair have stopped their Stansted flight).

However, I feel that at least one more major airline is needed plus one or more package holiday operators, to really put the airport on the map.

11 or whatever name you want to use next.

So bringing more jobs to Southend is not news is it.

So nothign relating to the airport is a story is it...

I bet you would change your mind if there were job cuts or an accident, it's always the same with people like you, hate to see something being successful when it is something you are so very very against, you would only be happy if every single job in Southend was lost and people were laying dead on the street.

Shame on you

111111,
Or perhaps people are genuinely supportive of one our areas biggest employers?
I didnt see thousands of people protesting against the extension at the Council meetings... far from it, and a hall full of people eager to hear of a few quid on a no win no fee basis doesnt prove a thing... I suspect a number have used the Airport themselves, and good luck to them.
Some will be against it, just as I am against certain groups that have to protest against anything new or chang e in this area... They'll still be here.

The Aircraft fly directly over my house depending on wind etc. It's the small ones that make the most noise, but then again I do live in a town with an Airport.... Even the shipping on the Thames is noisier with its constant dull hum... But then i live near the Thames and buy the products shipped in... I wont mention the trains. ;)
But again why would i complain about something I use?

As for Jayman, he is 'the' definition of Troll and cant stand the fact the Airport is actually successful. Why? We will probably never know... or care.

Bring on the Airport success, the potential investment in the town recently reported and anything else that brings this area up!
Leave the miserable nay sayers to constantly moan and whinge about progress if thats what floats their boat.

do you actually know what a troll is?

I have been against the airport expansion since day one. I don't belong to any group related to the airport. I'm a local resident. I'm in support of the estuary airport plan, therefore im not against the aviation industry, I'm just against one part of the industry that happens to be in the wrong location, lacks any real prestige as a fully capable airport and one that bases its sole existence on bottom feeding previously existing routes from other airports.

Southend airport, an airport that is not as good as Stansted or Heathrow or Gatwick , has less transport connections and is half the size with half the facilities.

Southend airport is a temporary solution to a growing problem, but don't worry. Charles De Gaulle Airport has loads of remaining capacity..

when the penny finally drops and the governments hand is forced into action to build another airport/runway do you really think easy jet or other airlines will maintain its Southend service's?

Southend airports history will repeat itself..

I must admit that I am somewhat reluctant to post on here due to the amount of insults bantered about. However, here go's...... I have noticed that the majority of comments regarding the airport, apart from the abuse, seem to focus on their own personal requirements for flight destinations and personal convenience but rarely, if any detailed information as to the overall advantages to the Southend Borough as a whole; financially or otherwise. We are made aware of how many flights take tourists, holidaymakers and business people abroad but is there any information on hand as to how many foreigner's come back on those flights and venture into and enjoy our towns shops and leisure facilities? This is just a question not an excuse for abuse.

Quite so positive - it would appear that stobart air is getting its staff to leave these messages of support remember there are thousands of people that do not agree with airport expansion
111111,
Or perhaps people are genuinely supportive of one our areas biggest employers?
I didnt see thousands of people protesting against the extension at the Council meetings... far from it, and a hall full of people eager to hear of a few quid on a no win no fee basis doesnt prove a thing... I suspect a number have used the Airport themselves, and good luck to them.
Some will be against it, just as I am against certain groups that have to protest against anything new or chang e in this area... They'll still be here.

The Aircraft fly directly over my house depending on wind etc. It's the small ones that make the most noise, but then again I do live in a town with an Airport.... Even the shipping on the Thames is noisier with its constant dull hum... But then i live near the Thames and buy the products shipped in... I wont mention the trains. ;)
But again why would i complain about something I use?

As for Jayman, he is 'the' definition of Troll and cant stand the fact the Airport is actually successful. Why? We will probably never know... or care.

Bring on the Airport success, the potential investment in the town recently reported and anything else that brings this area up!
Leave the miserable nay sayers to constantly moan and whinge about progress if thats what floats their boat.
do you actually know what a troll is?

I have been against the airport expansion since day one. I don't belong to any group related to the airport. I'm a local resident. I'm in support of the estuary airport plan, therefore im not against the aviation industry, I'm just against one part of the industry that happens to be in the wrong location, lacks any real prestige as a fully capable airport and one that bases its sole existence on bottom feeding previously existing routes from other airports.

Southend airport, an airport that is not as good as Stansted or Heathrow or Gatwick , has less transport connections and is half the size with half the facilities.

Southend airport is a temporary solution to a growing problem, but don't worry. Charles De Gaulle Airport has loads of remaining capacity..

when the penny finally drops and the governments hand is forced into action to build another airport/runway do you really think easy jet or other airlines will maintain its Southend service's?

Southend airports history will repeat itself..
So, using your usual warped logic, Stansted Airport must be a failure since it is only half as big as Heathrow with half the facilities. I don't think so.
Ask all those who have used Southend Airport what they think of it, you might be surprised at the replies, they probably like it very much. Facts to back up this statement - I have spoken to a number of people who flew from the airport, all very impressed so I don't know where you get your so-called information from.
Fortunately, people vote with their feet and the growing number of people using the airport, the increasing number of flights and the terminal expansion make all of your comments appear, as usual.ludicrous.

PS How many years of success do you need before you admit you are wrong, please respond with a number, we are patient and have long memories so look forward to reminding you how wrong you will be proved to be.

Perhaps the Echo can ask the various tourist and hotel associations for the area. Be good to get some figures on how many people are arriving and staying in the area. Of course the mere fact that 70000 plus passengers a month are using the airport must be impacting on local shops and services either directly by stopping and shopping/petrol /taxis/ buses/ local parking or indirectly by helping the airport employ people who then spend money locally.

"Possibly if these planes flew 400 feet over your house you would not be Quite so positive" Yes I would, actually.
The rest of your comments, stupid at best.
"Thousands of people", and you can prove this perhaps !!!!!!!!!
Amongst a large circle of friends, including some who live on the flightpath or adajcent to the airport, none are opposing airport expansion,
( or trying to make money out of it with dodgy claims)

I actually agree with Jayman on one point. That is the Government need to sort Airport capacity properly... The estuary will not work for many reasons.
But extra capacity is needed sooner rather than later.
I would disagree about Southends place, it's size is making it successful. Something Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted cannot do on a service level.
Use Southend and you will see what I mean.
As for the financial benefits to the area. The extra employment so far alone will be boosting the areas economy. This in turn improves confidence and encourages outside investment (will not happen overnight).
I too would be interested to know how hotels etc have benefitted.

Fair enough question.

I would guess that the answer would be, very very few.

Then you could say this about virtually any airport.
Airports are a transit hub, people just go to and from them.
The same happened with the Olympics, shops nearby had no increase in trade.
In fact London was quieter overall.

Part of the airport expansion included releasing adjacent land for development, and 4,000 new jobs will be created at the Anglia Ruskin MedTech Campus to be built off Cherry Orchard Way. That can't be bad, and should bring some money into the local economy.
I am sure the government would keep statistics on the numbers of Brits who fly out of the country, and the number of foreigners who fly in, together with estimates of their spending and how this affects UK PLC overall. I doubt the figures would make pleasant reading, but I hope I am wrong.

This makes intresting reading, it is the current growth or retraction percentage of passenger change at the main London Airports.

Stansted -5%

Luton 0%

Its about time the Government started using Airports such as these (an excellent rail service to London) and Doncaster Robin Hood Airport. You folk 'down souf' dont know how lucky you are in Southend, I have to travel 60 odd miles to my nearest airport do that when its foggy and snowy after a week in the sun somewhere. There!

With the second language in Southend now officially Polish, it is good to see flights to Poland being planned next year. However, I don't believe the South East needs further airport expansion. Stansted is still in decline, and needs our support. Western Europe has a good hub in Holland. People today go to France for lunch, so let's give Manchester or Scotland more capacity where it is possibly needed.

As for Jayman, he is 'the' definition of Troll and cant stand the fact the Airport is actually successful. Why? We will probably never know... or care.

Bring on the Airport success, the potential investment in the town recently reported and anything else that brings this area up!
Leave the miserable nay sayers to constantly moan and whinge about progress if thats what floats their boat.
do you actually know what a troll is?

I have been against the airport expansion since day one. I don't belong to any group related to the airport. I'm a local resident. I'm in support of the estuary airport plan, therefore im not against the aviation industry, I'm just against one part of the industry that happens to be in the wrong location, lacks any real prestige as a fully capable airport and one that bases its sole existence on bottom feeding previously existing routes from other airports.

Southend airport, an airport that is not as good as Stansted or Heathrow or Gatwick , has less transport connections and is half the size with half the facilities.

Southend airport is a temporary solution to a growing problem, but don't worry. Charles De Gaulle Airport has loads of remaining capacity..

when the penny finally drops and the governments hand is forced into action to build another airport/runway do you really think easy jet or other airlines will maintain its Southend service's?

Southend airports history will repeat itself..
This makes intresting reading, it is the current growth or retraction percentage of passenger change at the main London Airports.

Stansted -5%
Heathrow -2%
London City -2%
Luton 0%
Gatwick 0%
Southend +1340%
and you highlight my point quite succinctly.

massive, unsustainable and risky growth leads to what???...

i will give you time to think about that..

oh and its quite the opposite to jobs and growth..

So, using your usual warped logic, Stansted Airport must be a failure since it is only half as big as Heathrow with half the facilities. I don't think so.
Ask all those who have used Southend Airport what they think of it, you might be surprised at the replies, they probably like it very much. Facts to back up this statement - I have spoken to a number of people who flew from the airport, all very impressed so I don't know where you get your so-called information from.
Fortunately, people vote with their feet and the growing number of people using the airport, the increasing number of flights and the terminal expansion make all of your comments appear, as usual.ludicrous.

PS How many years of success do you need before you admit you are wrong, please respond with a number, we are patient and have long memories so look forward to reminding you how wrong you will be proved to be.
more then two.. a lot more.

ten years is a good benchmark considering the money thrown at it (some of it our money)

Ten years sounds reasonable. I suspect that Stobarts did a lot of research before investing in the airport and are expecting a good return for a lot more than ten years. Many regional airports are successful around the country because they are able to offer budget and package tour airlines better rates than the large airports, hence the reason for moving flights to airports like Southend. I have no problem with them relocating, ( bottom feeding if you like"), flights from other airports if it provides jobs and helps our local economy. It seems that most flights from the airport have a good take-up rate and I see no reason for this to change if they fly to popular destinations.

Rather than quote the lot:

"Southend airport, an airport that is not as good as Stansted or Heathrow or Gatwick , has less transport connections and is half the size with half the facilities."

So what? When I've flown from there the size of the place was a massive bonus - quick check-in, grab a coffee, hop on plane and away!

I know people who've come from London who say the transport was great; straight from Liverpool St and into the terminal.

The airport will expand but it isn't trying to be Gatwick. On a personal level, it's fantasic and I hope never to have to drive to another airport again!

I flew from Southend for the first time yesterday on a business trip to Barcelona. I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I've had at an airport. It took minutes to get from the train platform to the security check, and then only a few more steps to the plane. As said by someone before, the small size, and relative calm of this airport is it's biggest attraction and far from a failure. Clearly with the recently approved extension this is going to have to be carefully balanced in the future. But for now. it's the best airport serving London for the given destinations.

I have a lot of friends and work colleagues in Amsterdam. Recently, a few of them met me at Southend airport and we travelled to London by train.

They are all regular travellers and raved about Southend airport, as the journey time from landing to the station, is so much shorter than the likes of Stansted, even though the train journey times are similar.

Word will spread and business travellers, who are also occasional tourists, will see Southend as their number one choice.

You don't have to live in the area to see the benefits! Of course there will some routes which will not successful, but that is normal.

I flew years ago on a skiing holiday to Switzerland and it was absolutely brilliant. No delays, your baggage was travelling alongside you to the Carrosel and local. I realise that today things would be more mechanised especially the baggage, but I would fly any day local than travel the M25 to either Heatrow, Stanstead or Gatwick and have the stress of the journey. If you are in a 12 mile radius of Southend Airport it would only take half an hour for someone to pick you up. I have waited longer than that to pick up my luggage from Stanstead!!
