Read the following article in yesterday's Evening Standard. Wonder if the airport will benefit from the investment in any way?
LOGISTICS giant Stobart, which owns London Southend Airport, today revealed it will invest in a tech start-up which helps travellers get luggage from their door to the airport without having to lift a finger. The firm will provide £2 million to London-founded AirPortr. The company has an app that allows holidaymakers to have a third party deliver their bags and check them in. It is partnered with Gatwick and Heathrow and offered to British Airways customers and is looking to expand with the funding.
