Southend
Southend Council recently submitted its proposal for a regional casino to be located in the town (available on the web). The document covers a number of areas including transport links and specifically, the towns airport and how it intends to re-introduce passanger flights.
Quote " Flybe will be incorporating 14 new flight paths into its business plan from 2007".
Not sure if 'flight paths' means 14 routes, 14 flights per day/week or none of these, but it's very specific and would seem to confirm/suggest that Flybe will be introducing some new routes from Southend next year.
