Southend provides a once weekly service on Flybe during the summer schedule to JER. There seems to be less people on it each year, I doubt that JER is as popular as it once was and at SEN the average age of the pax is about 65+. If this comes off you will be lucky if it is more than once a week. Do you not still get the BMI charters, at least SEN is held together by the daily Ford service.
