Expressflight.
Wrong assumption l could accept, false assumption no.
Why would a european road haulier take an interest in an airport so close to Liege, attempt passenger services when the passenger carrying experts who have tried have failed ?
Southend has a history of night ops, is unlikely to frighten the horses, and post rush hour could launch straight into the airways going direct anywhere.
The first step would be to rebuild the airport buildings, which are virtually derelict anyway.
The potential for local job creation would stop dead complaints from the greens.
You may well be right, but l doubt it.
Very best wishes, Overun.
