Agree that the terminal at Southend is looking a little tired however, with the work currently going on to extend the carpark in front of the existing terminal to accomodate an additional 200+ cars combined with the fact that the airport held recruitment days in the terminal on Monday and Tuesday of this week looking for 6 additional part time check-in staff, 12 Security Officers and 4 additional full time fire fighters "as a result of recent business opportunities" (see airport website (jobs)), would seem to suggest that something is in the pipeline for the not too distant future ?
