Southend is largely a sideshow and the role of Gatwick is a lot more significant in drawing airlines away. EasyJet started cutting back at Stansted before opening a base at Southend and other airlines have also cutback or closed at Stansted. In Britain easyJet obviously sees the best prospects at Gatwick, Manchester, Edinburgh and to a degree Bristol. They will get expansion. Stansted and Liverpool are likely to get cuts.
