easyJet are the reason Southend has an airport, they're the only operator that can give Southend what it needs in terms of reach of routes and capacity.
i am a believer that Easyjet will stay at SEN after the 10 years deal expires, because if they think that all their customers would happily move to STN too, they would be wrong. Loads are good on all of their current destinations. However, at the same time, I would not rely on them to add more destinations. For those, new airlines need to be encouraged.
