Sometimes more is less. What made Southend beautiful is being lost. It’s the nature of the business to sweat the assets which will no doubt be supported here as the queues lengthen and the airport loses some of its appeal.
Much has been written here from supporters about the pride of being the UK’s favourite airport but I would think most would prefer a terrible experience and queues out the door just for an ever increasing amount of passengers as though that really matters. It is all about a balance between what passengers expect and what Southend can deliver. That message might well fall on deaf ears.
