Have you heard of Southend airport? You might want to look at what a small extension did for their business. Flybe, EasyJet and Ryanair for a start. Yes COVID has affected their ops but that is not surprising.

The green bunch like to make their voices heard but it is almost always on the back of no research. The boss of Loganair has come out in the past to say that SOUs runway affects their ops. They use tiny ej-145s with 50 seats. The extension will mainly help existing and the reintroduction of previous ops. Of course the green mentalists are too narrow minded to stop and think before opening their mouths.
