Well said..Any airport that attracts pax is NOT a waste of time..We had loons on the BLK thread that has BLK built on years ago, and the new forecast I believe is within 10 years.
Strange jet2 has given BLK 3 new routes next year..Dalaman, Ibiza and Lanzarote.
Sen are doing very nicely, Eazy thinks so too.
all extra flights will be greatly accepted,just to proove to the tree huggers & loonies who said that the airport was a waste of time!!!!!

Source of SEN-SXF information
I have been silently campaigning for this route since before easyjet's arrival was announced. What is the source for this information? No official announcements from EZY themselves as far as I can see?
New Starter - how does one campaign silently ? Surely campaigning must involve persuading others of some idea or opinion that you have, which therefore means communicating to other people and thus by definition is not silent

You should be careful for what you wish for?
The town of Southend will soon fill up with new migrants if routes to Eastern Europe are opened up from the airport.
First it is the young men who arrive, then their girlfriends and wives. Next they have or bring over their children and then their parents move over here to work or retire.
There are so many living in Luton now that their children are shipped out to outlying area's, as the town centre schools are full. Over 50% of births in Luton are now from mothers not born in the UK.
I can catch the staff bus at Luton Airport and hear no one speak English as the Eastern European check-in staff, baggage handlers, cleaners and others that do all the other jobs that keeps the airport open arrive or leave work.
The locals who work at Southend will start to decrease and the new jobs will go to new migrants as the companies based at the airport realise that they can offer lower wages and no pay rises to keep their costs down.
So why will Southend town attract so many new migrants? It is because they will be able to get back to Poland quicker and cheaper than I can get to Blackpool by train to see my father from Luton.

What LTNman has said makes a lot of sense to me and your uneccessary reply seems to miss the point. I just think that whatever the long term effect is on Southend, due to easy connectivity to East European countries, then if easyJet weren't doing it, then some other airline probably will eventually.

Excellent news. It's amazing to stop for a moment and think what the airport was like just two years ago.......
But the future is certainly bright. I'd be even happier if someone started to operate A320s from SEN's runway though, those A319s aren't going to be with EZY for ever.....

I think Tayair believes that the A320NEO will be able to operate from SEN's runway. I haven't seen any performance figures for the NEO, other than improved fuel efficiency. Is it likely to have sprightly take-off performance with more economical engines?
