Pax growth
I have to agree with Ltnman. If there was additional demand of 6m pax last year why did Southend not hoover this lot up? They have been telling everyone for years now that they are not slot restricted, they offer a better pax experience and they have unconstrained capacity to play with. And despite all of this 6m pax went to one of the overcrowded capacity constrained airports instead of Southend. There is something seriously wrong with how the airport is approaching this.
