I doubt if they have thought about that yet......for me, two weeks during the Olympics I will sit outside the Aviators bar up near the Vulcan and watch the action......I wish I knew how many charters or bizjets there will be, but I guess that's the fun of it! Hope they have enough bacon for the demand on sandwiches!

Here is the news article about the terminal extension
Plans for Southend Airport expansion (From Echo)
I was also thinking what airlines and routes could be added next. I think that Dublin would be good, what does everybody else think?

Re: Suggested New Routes

I think Dublin could open up some interlining if operated by Aer Lingus or Commuter and unless I have got my sums wrong they are often quite competative with Ryanair, so possibly an ATR-72-500 would not be unattractive.

Snow & Rumours
Thats right - the sunday morning Aer Arann flight was cancelled.
Also heard rumours of several airlines with interest in SEN including Thomson, First Choice and now Monarch. Anyone else heard anything on these lines or something completely different?

Based upon the runway length, some of the rumours may just be that based upon the aircraft types that they fly, but if Stobart are susidising empty seats due to performance, then 'who knows'?

You're no doubt correct Buster. SEN's runway is tailored to A319's and 737-700s. Runway requirements are such a complex subject, with so many variables. However, A320-214s (with the CFM56) should be able to operate at max weight over reasonable stages from SEN's extended runway. TAP's 214s fly fully loaded from the Azores to Lisbon (over 1000km) from a shorter runway (1700m). I suppose nobody knows anything for certain until someone tries it.......

SEN re-opened at 1130 today.

Perhaps Vulcanised meant to say SEN opened at 1130 on Sunday, not Monday.
Considering South Essex received some 15cm of snow overnight Saturday I think they did very well to have the place open that quickly.
