Pax rolling percentages of london airports. Lhr 2.6% lgw 6.1% ltn 4.5% lcy 4.7% and the winner by a country mile is london southend airport with 29.4%,weldone to all at sen great news:
There are statistics and then there are statistics which mean nothing. This is one of them as Southend is starting from a low number but then any growth is a good thing even the 2.2% growth for July.
While Southend had 2.2% growth Stansted had 11.6%,
Luton 11.7%, Gatwick 6.1% Heathrow 2.6% and London City 4.5% so I could claim that Southend is London's worst perfoming airport.
Statistics can be slanted to give good or bad news depending on the agenda of the individual but the bottom line is that Southend is doing well but not spectacularly well.
Stobart Air/ Flybe are not going to make a big difference to passenger numbers but easyjet could if they show more commitment to Southend but Stobart /Flybe do offer diversity which has to be a good thing.
