SOUTHEND Airport has teased at potentially brining back a customer favourite flight destination.
The airport yesterday announced easyJet will be running flights to Amsterdam from May.
It becomes Southend’s fourth destination – alongside Malaga, Palma de Mallorca and Faro – and, alongside extra flights to Faro, represents a 30 per cent increase in total passenger flights for the airport this year.

The news was well-received by the public, with almost 1,00 likes and more than 400 comments on the announcement post on Facebook.
However, one cheeky customer jokingly quipped: “You’ve spelt Alicante wrong.”
A recent poll of customers found the most wanted new destination from the airport was Alicante.
Taking the jab in good spirits, an airport spokesman cryptically replied: “Maybe tomorrow, but not today!”
In September of last year a Facebook post by the airport encouraged customers to voice their support for an Alicante flight.
And they received a huge response, as the Twitter and Facebook posts combined received more than 250 comments in just 24 hours.
