This is from a SEN supporters F'book page, a reply from Europort Express to a question about flights into SEN. Make of it what you will.......:
We are at present confirming our schedules set for September 2012 and whether or not we can include London Southend in our Phase 1 route launches on September 17th. This initial phase will see the introduction of only two routes initially. We will then be looking to add a further four from our list in January 2013 and the remainder in April 2013.
Rotterdam to Norwich was a route considered when we were performing our in depth route analysis on cross-channel routes from Rotterdam The Hague Airport but we chose London Southend as our south of England airport due to the high speed rail links, close proximity to the port of Tilbury and related industries, all of which have a strong relationship with Rotterdam and The Hague.
At this time, I am unable to provide you with fare details. This information will become available leading up to the opening of our website next month. Once routes are confirmed and become on sale, they will be jointly announced by the airports. Our core announcement in co-operation with Rotterdam The Hague Airport is due first. Please remember that some of the routes on our landing page are *prospective* routes we hope to add to the schedules.
Do let me know if you have any further questions.
