"Stobart Aviation Services provides check-in and baggage handling services to easyJet at both London Southend and London Stansted. As a result of the decision to close these bases, the company will enter a consultation process with the teams affected as part of a wider cost management programme within the aviation division. Warwick Brady, chief executive of Stobart Group, said: "We are disappointed that easyJet has taken the decision to close its airport bases serving the North and East of London. However, we expect that this decision will create significant opportunity for other airlines looking to take on established, popular and profitable routes. Though the 2020 summer and winter periods will continue to be challenging, we expect passenger demand for short haul leisure flying to increase through 2021, and we are in active dialogue with airlines regarding their interest in capitalising on these well-established, profitable routes."
