Our target is to grow passenger numbers at London Southend Airport to over 2.5 million passengers per annum and deliver �8 EBITDA per passenger by 2018. As reported in the AGM Statement in June, London Southend Airport's management team is in advanced talks with a number of low-cost carriers and full service operators, who want to take advantage of the airport's access to London capacity at peak times. These talks are progressing well.
In the six months to 31 August 2016, like-for-like passenger numbers were broadly in line with the prior year, with on-time performance and load factors continuing to outperform airline targets.
