I don't blame him for attempting to polish the turd but it is time to be realistic or face the prospect of losing it all. With no positive operational cash flow since 2014 the strategy needs to change. That starts with recognising the fact that Southend is definitely a regional airport with a catchment area to match, and future business planning needs to be tailored accordingly.
I almost agree, but it can't be denied that a lot of SEN's pax came from east London according to surveys and that's a lotta folk. So it's a regional, or even sub-regional, airport plus a slice of the metropolis.
