Whenever I have been in the terminal, its busy with pilots on stopping during training flights etc., engineers from the various companies based at SEN and local people. Not to mention the spotters.
The £4 breakfast is superb!!
Just because they don't have many pax flights. Doesn't mean they are not busy. Have you tried calling up on a busy weekend or weekday?
I feel sure with Southends location within the Thames Gateway etc. it does have huge potential. I just hope the current owners (RAL) are able to attract the business.
I know its no good looking to the past. But correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't it in the top 10 busiest commercial airports in the country?
Obviously aircraft size and performance prohibits that again, but as a regional airport it must have appeal.
