Perhaps the likes of Titan being wrapped up in longer-term leases has left a shortage in the VIP market?

Depends what they think will pay better. The regular companies struggling to meet the demand means rates go up and maybe they can make adequate returns on the VIP market and become the first choice rather than the last choice in the wet lease market.

The airline has already stationed two VIP Boeing 737-400s at the city’s airport and is offering chartered flights for private customers, businesses and sports teams.

I’m not a spotter (trust me!) but I have to note that a direct flight from Washington Dulles is due to arrive at SEN in around half an hour. A Dassault Falcon 8X. Can’t imagine that’s happened too many times before.

My perception is theres been an uplift recently in bizjets but it’s particularly noticeable on FR24 in the last couple of days. Great work by the management or restrictions elsewhere eg LTN? Or a combination?

One last point. It is not the airport that is feeding the local press.

It is clear this atmosphere is never going to get off the ground so why even entertain it. A quick search of this project would be more than enough information to show why they should stay very far away from it.
In the article linked, there is only this sentence, which is as non-commital as you can get.
Southend Airport stated it would not comment on specific discussions, but confirmed talks are ongoing with a number of airlines.

As are all airports so nothing special there.
The disturbing thing is that SEN has yet to see any form of recovery while all the other London Airport have. This winter there are no flights and next summer will be glum for all airports, as the pent up demand of the last 2 years will be over and a massive recession and cost of living rises will mean many people will be staying at home.
How long can SEN carry on making losses?
