I should have made it clear in my earlier post that whilst the security check was far too sensitive and seemed to follow rules that no other airport follows, the staff went about their job with good humour and politeness. The same goes for the lounge staff. It is a truly terrible lounge but the staff are polite, friendly and approachable.

Ref #2918 from SS
Just a reminder that the giant surf simulator will be available in front of the terminal tomorrow. Hope to see you all there in your boardshorts.

Flybe Winter 2019/20
The Flybe online timetable from 26th October to 9th March shows CFR 4 x weekly (until 6th January), GRQ 11 x weekly, GCI 7 x weekly, NQY 5 x weekly and RNS 10 x weekly. ANR seems to cease on 25th October.

I haven't seen any 2019 figures but up to the end of 2018 the ANR load factors were well below those for CFR, GRQ and RNS; somewhere just above 40% for the last quarter of the year I seem to recall.

Seems a bit strange to stop the ANR service, also dont know how GCI is going to work during the winter months at the same frequency 7x weekly as the summer schedule.

I guess Blue see Southend as a London airport and are targeting Stansted, Gatwick and Heathrow pax from the island to their Southend service (approx 7 flights per day throughout the year with capacity of about 600 pax each way per day). Main problem will be to get people to use Southend instead of one of the hubs.

The Echo reporting that `Environmental Campaigners are set to stage a protest at Southend Airport` today.
An `Extinction Rebellion team are gearing up to get their climate change point across to airport passengers with a protest at The Manners Way/Rochford Rd Roundabout from 9am to 11am`.
`Campaigners say local protest has been prompted by residents living around the airport who have recently complained about taxiing aircraft just yards from their gardens`.
A local protester states "We hope that this is something that will grow".

I see the climate change protesters are set to disrupt SEN passengers from 09:00 to 11:00 today by making a nuisance of themse!ves at the roundabout where the airport entrance road comes off the highway.

Not normal I beat anybody to anything.
& now...`Britain`s equivalent to Tutankhamun found in Southend`...
Hope that is not near the airport as being declared a National Heritage site perhaps might impede more than the `pink boat` on the roundabout

A very small gathering (not more than 10) when I passed at 10:40 and they were about as far from the airport road as you can get; on the corner at the top of Manners Way. Went to terminal and nothing unusual there. Passed the roundabout again at 11:01 and they'd all cleared off.

It would appear that one police car turned up and drove off after five minutes, no pink boat and no disruption. Mind you there was a rain shower so perhaps saving the planet took second place to getting wet. On the other hand the locals could have provided bars of soap whilst the unwashed were dripping!!
