From the London Southend Airport FB page:
Don't forget, we're still operating over the winter period with private/business flights supported by the incredible Jet Centre Team, as well as general aviation activity. This comes with a price tag attached which all goes towards the overall airport money pot.
You might've also seen us on the telly recently, featuring in a Christmas TV advert and again with an epic feature in global YouTuber Mr Beast's latest multi-million-dollar video challenge?
That's because we're utilising the sleek, modern spaces here at London Southend Airport as a prime filming location. Just bear in mind that, if you do see film crews here on site, that they're doing so in a secure location with a reasonable expectation of privacy. We also often can't tell you what's going on, as much as we want to!
It popped up in the press a little while ago but it's worth mentioning again that we'll be reintroducing a cargo operation between January 8 and March 25.
We have a fantastic facility at the airport to support these flights, and it's great to welcome additional business during the coming winter period. It also gives us the opportunity to develop our logistics channel and connect London Southend Airport around the world.
Ok! So, I've probably (undoubtedly) missed something but to summarise:
a. Rather excellent filming location
b. Amazing Jet Centre
c. Light aircraft
d. Cargo flights between January 8, and March 25, 2023
Before anyone says anything... Yes, of course we want to be making money off of holidays to Palma de Mallorca, but we refuse to sit quietly over the winter in the meantime.
I say "we're working hard" all the time, but it's always true. In this case, we're working hard from a commercial point of view to ensure that London Southend Airport is as financially secure as possible and operating as a smart, opportunistic business until such time we see commercial plane tails taking off from the runway once again at the end of March.
