Having just flown EDI-SEN-EDI, unless coincidence put me on the only healthy flights, I'd say that the load factors either way seem to be very healthy & more than enough to keep the route ticking over.

Nice to hear some good news concerning load factors on the domestic flights. We only normally read the monthly stats. Glad you enjoyed the flight.

The August 2013 CAA Provisional Stats have been published and show total SEN pax for the month of 118,049. The route breakdown is as follows:

BFS 8,105 84%
EDI 6,192 76%
JER 7,209 86%
NQY 2,802 64%
SXF 7,263 90%
DUB 6,401 76%
VCE 4,836 91%
AMS 13,117 88%
FAO 10,140 90%
ALC 12,839 91%
BCN 12,593 88%
IBZ 3,767 93%
AGP 8,847 91%
PMI 7,849 (6,662 EZY 93% & 1,187 Volotea 119 pax/sector)
KRK 5.026 89%

BFS seems to do quite well at once daily and EDI is picking up after a slow start. I doubt that NQY will re-appear next year.

Ryanair basing six more planes at Stansted in 2014. I wonder what impact this may have on Southend and/or EasyJet's operation there??

[GAZMO]

Agree that SEN to BFS is good reading for the once daily service (84%). Pity the route is stopping

[compton3bravo]

As with all other airports and airlines it is not the number of passengers flown but how much they have paid - yield dear boy, yield!
Also Ryanair are only putting back the number of aircraft they had based before they through their toys out of the pram at Stansted - but good PR all the same for those not in the know.

[tophat27dt]

In the monthly CAA passenger stats, why are diversion passengers not listed?
Sometime when SEN receives up to 10 inbound diversions in the winter months, I have not seen them included?

[tophat27dt]

one correction: Agust pax for Palma (EZY) were 6662 (not 8847) plus 1187 for Thomsons

[FRatSTN]

Also Ryanair are only putting back the number of aircraft they had based before they through their toys out of the pram at Stansted - but good PR all the same for those not in the know.

Something tells me though that SEN might not see it quite like that. There was no EZY base in SEN back in 2007/8 when FR was at it's peak at STN!!!

Please do keep up. Things have moved on since then and any capacity increases (whether it has been there before or not) will effect different airlines/airports in different ways.

I'm just simply intrigued at what effect it might possibly have on SEN now it has built up a base with EZY with STN being very weak.

It's not a pop at SEN, I hope it continues to do well, but I'm just not sure an extra 1 million passengers using STN will go unnoticed at SEN?

London Southend Airport announced today that 230,000 passengers travelled through the Essex terminal between 1 July and 31 August 2013 – a 29.9% increase on the 177,000 that used the airport in summer 2012 - making it the busiest summer since formal records began in 1967.

In fairness this was always likely to be the case since the 4th EZY A319 arrived last June, but still good news none the less.

[vulcanised]

This could be of interest on Sunday to those in the area around SEN.........
