SEN is different. Firstly it serves London. It has a large catchment area which is highly populated and affluent. BOH, whilst wealthy, has a fairly small catchment - with half of its catchment area being the English Channel. To the west is BRS with over 50 destinations, to the East LGW with 100+ destinations.
The fact that EZY have over 20 bases and only operate flights from one of them speaks volumes to me. There's no Milan, Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, Nice, Lyon, Barcelona, Toulouse, Venice or Naples. Nor are there any flights from their UK bases. They could easily operate those flights from BOH but have so far not seen the demand to warrant flights to them. Nor have they operated W patterns to anywhere else (except for GVA).

Is essential that they try to resolve this issue I think the fact that there are 4 trains an hour depating from the airports on site station direct to London upto 2300, and of course if you are traveling into Southend town the trains run considerably later, means it's on a slightly different footing to BOH!

fair enough thanks all! Didn't quite realise just how much of a catchment area SEN has on its' doorstep, along with the infrastructure. Bit naive of me really! Being a west-country bumpkin I suppose I don't know whats happening 'up east'! But BOH I suppose is situated close enough for either BRS or LGW. So rightfully so, why then would EZY consider a start up with 2 massive basses for them very similar distances apart. But a 2 hour 15 min drive to each airport is further than I anticipated!!

SEN won't be seeing any additional flights this summer (according to the timetable), although I don't know if this is the same for the LTN or LGW routes.
There was talk of extra flights to LONDON with the VENICE BASED aircraft with SOUTHEND possibly getting extra flights any news if this might go ahead ?

It's no better than SEN apart from the vastly larger population on its doorstep just a short drive away.

Does SEN only have a 20 mile catchment area? How many live within 1 hours drive compared to BOH? I can't believe people are comparing a London airport with a large town on the south coast. They are not the same.
SEN is not a London airport in reality, 50% of the catchment area with SEN at it's centre is fish.....it's a common problem when you're on the coast far away from competing airports with wholly land based options in that circle

Are easyJet about to announce a route to Casablanca from London Gatwick?
And I see a route in the booking engine between Manchester and Tivat in Montenegro, hadn't heard about this and also surprised that is just a single route to Manchester, would have expected them to try Gatwick first.

Easyjet have recently posted on their Facebook site that they intend to release March to late June flights in September 2016 and June to Sept the following month..They might well bring those dates forward but then you might be as well looking elsewhere, if you need to know.
