As for Tesco they have 1% of the company they are however one of the company''s biggest customers so may have a bit of influence but not a great deal.
Road Haulage/Logistics must be a very different industry to the one I deal with...

All's Not Well @ SEN
Been chatting to an old friend over the past few weeks that's been at SEN since it opened & it sounds like all's not well there with the staff.By the sounds of it,it's all down to one person. I went to see my friend during summer 12 and the the new SEN looks fantastic and has changed so much since I last flew into there many years ago. I just really hope the staffing issues get sorted out quickly and soon and why can one person control people and possibly ruin the careers of them and bring morale down so much in a place that's been buzzing recently and seems to be on the up in an industry that is full of doom & gloom recently.
Keep your chin up guys at SEN,all the very best for your future & hope your Achilles' heel gets their comeuppance soon.

Comparing prices from the Thomson website, for a holiday in July at the Hotel Santa Lucia in Majorca:
From SEN: £638 per person, from STN £751, from LGW £583, from LTN £747.
Quite a variation in prices.....

I can understand the LGW price being cheaper but I'm a little surprised that STN and LTN departures are more expensive.
Do Thomson holiday prices vary according to demand on a virtually daily basis in the same way that, say, EZY flight tickets do? If so that could be the explanation perhaps.
The first flight I could find on the Thomson website just now departs 25th May, not the 18th. What date did they originally announce the flights would commence?

Traditionally IT brochure prices have always been more expensive from Luton and Stansted. This feeds extra passengers to Gatwick where most of the capacity is. Even my neighbour who lives no more than a mile from Luton used Gatwick last year to save money.
I think online price differentials are maintained leaving Luton and Stansted customers at a financial disadvantage thus cutting demand but maybe increasing profits for the likes of Thomson. By pricing Southend in between Gatwick and North London airports they are testing the water?

55,320 total passengers in February. That seems an encouraging figure to me and I believe, for the first time ever in its history, Southend has now seen over 700,000 pax pass through in a 12 month period (714,154 to be precise).
Yes, some very encouraging numbers for February.
It looks like VCE achieved a 68% load factor in its first three weeks of operation, with DUB improving to 73% and having its second highest monthly pax total (only last July being greater).

A flight every few minutes in 1967 with aircraft like the Bristol 170 carrying around 20 passengers. Wish I could find my Southend Airport year book dated around 1970. I am sure Southend was something like the UK's second or third busiest airport in those days.
