why are you so anti southend?in all of your posts you havent had one good word to say about SEN!!!.always negative,never positive.if your going to pick faults, start with luton.at least the people of southend will have something to be proud of,unlike LTN,which is a dump.a lot of people drive to airports,rather than use public transport.time will tell&things will get better.there are a lot of people out here that support SEN,and wish them the best for the future!!!!!.if i can fly from SEN rather than LTN than thats what i will do

Southend's appeal will be it's railway station with easy access to London and the terminal. All that is missing is a 24 hour rail service which the airport operator should be pushing for as the railway will not be an option for the morning wave of passengers.

And a Merry Christmas to you and all the Southend Airport supporters on this forum.
People can be quite passionate about their local airport. It’s a bit like supporting your local football team. After years in the doldrums there are no doubts that things are looking up at Southend and that exciting times are around the corner.

Thanks for the compliment and best wishes to you also for 2012.
The new terminal is due to open on 28th February and during next month easyJet will be carrying out some crew training/familiarisation visits. A publicity flight for the Press will take place sometime in March.
The runway extension officially comes into service on 8th March when it will become effective on the AIRAC system, although it's possible that it may be commissioned for use a little before that.
The Jet2 Ford sole-use charters to CGN and CRA begin next Monday, 9th January.

Good to hear about the runway extension.
Any idea when the new ILS(s) will be plugged in?
It is fabulous to hear about an airport expanding instead of the usual contractions.

The ILS availability is currently LOC only on 24 with the relocated GS for 24 and the new ILS system on 06 being promulgated via AIRAC to come into service on 8th March, when the new IRVR, approach lighting and OCHs etc. for both runways also become valid. In reality I think its all been flight tested so its actual availability date might be brought forward a little by NOTAM.
I believe a recent easyJet press release descibed SEN as the first new airport to be built in the South-East for decades and I suppose that description isn't far from the truth when all the renewals/developments are taken into account. Virtually all the infrastructure is new with the exception of the original runway strip and that has been resurfaced with centreline lighting and a new drainage system etc. installed.

Fords to Turkey
I have also heard that Fords will operate to Eskisohir/Anadolu in Turkey. They have a factory there. But I have no info yet on when it will start or which airline. Anybody heard anything about this?
