SOUTHEND Airport’s move to take control of airspace within 2.5 miles, in an effort to cut delays and improve safety, has taken a step forward.
The airport’s owners have started a consultation, which will last until December.
An application is being made to the Civil Aviation Authority forcing pilots of any planes over Southend Airport to seek permission from its air traffic control tower. The airport has not controlled the airspace since 1992 because, up until recently, so few flights used it.

The Controlled Airspace consultation document is available on the SEN website. Click on Community Relations on the home page and there is a link to the document within the Controlled Airspace page.
SEN-NQY
Apparently easyJet will continue with the SEN-NQY next summer operating 4 x weekly from 4 July until 7 September, operating M,W,F & Su.
At the same time they confirm that they will not replace Flybe when they come off the LGW-NQY route in March and it must be doubtful if anyone else will pick that up, not from LGW at least.

SAEN Leaflet thru door today. they say they will fight planned expansion to 5m passengers and say we are now threatened with A320 aircraft which are much larger and noisier. Council invested £6m subsidising private sector profits. Another scaremongering from SAEN

Folk of Southend, Rochford and surrounds, be prepared for the onslaught that is the A320!
Not only is it larger & heavier, it has been known to use more runway especially being so heavy on it's flight full of fuel, passenger and baggage!
This is a four hour flight, not a 45 min trip to Amsterdam!
I suggest strongly that folk are encouraged to tape over panes of glass to prevent them exploding inward when that A320 departs!
This is serious, the plane is massive and the damage it will cause could be huge!
There are countless cases of folk that have removed windows and bricked the gap up around Luton.
I am so sorry for all the residents involved, my heart goes out to you all.
People of Southend, reject the A320 now!

The A320 is something like two rows longer. Slightly bigger wings and similar engines.
Living so close to Doncaster Airport.
Most of our flights are 320s And they are not that loud.

The only difference between the 319 and 320 is length, the wings and engines are exactly the same, just the microchips in the engines allow them to produce a higher amount of thrust. No one within a vajazzles distance of SEN would be able to notice the difference in sound profiles between the variants.

AN airline is to increase flights from Southend to Cornwall next summer after the route proved popular.
Budget airline easyJet is to lay on four flights a week instead of three after almost 8,000 passengers flew from Southend to Newquay this summer.

SENChris, Geneva is a new summer destination, also Amsterdam is up to 3x daily. In peak summer, Newquay gains a flight. On the downside, Belfast is of course gone and Jersey drops to 2-3 weekly from 5-6 weekly
