Wow!!! I only asked if Flybe's decision would possibly have any affect on SEN-NQY next year. My own thought is probably not, for despite Stobart's talk of business users traveling to the city choosing SEN, I believe the route will serve a completely different demographic, serving leisure users traveling west.
Thanks for all the responses, even the crazy ones. |
I am old enough to remember when Stansted couldn't get passengers for love nor money and in later years when Stelios was told by the experts he was joking if he thought flights from Luton would be a success.
I know little about the Southend catchment area but what I do know is if there is a hub airport in South East England that allows me to fly from the far South West (Cornwall is not in England by the way) to somewhere I want to go, then I will use that over a huge airport with five terminals that takes me a week to get through or a two hour drive to Exeter.. Hence my post. |
GROUNDHOG...
Much creditability is lost in your post with that second paragraph above... I read it that you are describing SEN as "a hub airport in South East England"....seriously?... And as for the little geo political aside"(Cornwall is not in England by the way)" please take your issues elsewhere. |

The main question is will leisure travellers to Cornwall from the South East chose SEN in preference to LHR any more or less than they would do so in preference to LGW. Who knows but perhaps some would feel more comfortable using SEN than LHR, a complex airport which many of them may never have used before while they would perhaps be somewhat more familiar with LGW. Comparative fare levels will also have some effect of course as they always do. |
I see Laker's Bar has been replaced by the Navigator Pub. Worth noting there is a choice of beers from the Leigh-on-Sea brewery. I can personally recommend the Cockle Row Spit. I believe the availability of these beers is exclusive to Southend Airport and provides yet another incentive to those deciding which London airport to depart from.

Enjoy your imbibing DC3 Dave...
It is a shame though a name synonymous with Southend & BTW Stansted in earlier times is replaced with the standard generic & boring no thought style of rebrand above the door. |

The quip was meant to add a little humour, thanks for the invitation to take it elsewhere but it is staying right here. |
Gordon Bennett GROUNHOG you just have to be more expressive than you were initially as it was all over my `ed.
Being just an Essex geezer it is a struggle with other`s humour obviously then too. |

Oh dear...
I attempt to provide what I deem to be any relevant detail concerning STN & elsewhere I certainly do not "slag off" posters...a lovely turn of phrase if I may say. Your options are boundless...including debating & engaging properly...for instance was it your good self that mentioned on the STN thread recently that you were involved in the original Stansted development as there is a bit of a discussion going on over there which you could possibly interact & help with. If you do not like my phraseology in posts then no requirement for personal attacks as you can hit the complaint button as advised by mods perhaps or press ignore. Otherwise it makes you no better than you purport me to be I would hazard. |
Carlisle
I clicked on the airport’s Black Friday link to book parking and it landed me on the destinations page. Carlisle is on there, from Spring 2019. Has that always been on there, or is it a recent update with actual intent? |

Anyone got any idea how Paderborn is performing after its very rocky first flight?

The natives at the northerly end of SEN's runway are getting very upset about the amount of night flights and the corresponding noise it generates. Apparently the airport CEO has been dispatched to attend a local meeting to face the complaints head on.

Everyone is entailed to a good nights sleep including those that live near an airport. Stobart is making money out of other peoples misery.
