Gatwick, which is a good benchmark has around 36% of passengers arrive by train. Could the roads around the airport handle 10 million passengers? Luton has a dual carriageway from the motorway and still has major tailbacks. Also as a comparison Luton is using 38 stands for 16 million passengers with no spare stands overnight. How many stands could Southand have if the terminal was increased by a factor 4?

Firstly to grow business aircraft movements at Southend from 1,000 a year to 10,000 by 2022.
Must be their new fireplace that will draw in the aircraft.
