Not true. How do you explain Southend? They cannot grow at the rate they want at the traditional London airports. I would argue SOU has 10 x what Southend has to offer for EZY. Do we know if Southend had to carry out a lot of investment as part of the deal of EZY opening a base? Was the train station being built part of it? As we have all said for years, SOU needs to put its hand in its pocket.
