London Southend Airport: We can help solve London’s capacity crunch

London Southend Airport is reminding the government it is the secret weapon to ease London’s air travel capacity crunch.
The airport is calling for broader consideration as London debates its airport capacity.
London Southend has the infrastructure to provide airport capacity immediately.
The airport wants the government to prioritise its own immediate, scalable solutions
Jude Winstanley, CEO, London Southend Airport, says: “London Southend Airport is uniquely positioned to help address the current capacity crunch in London and the South East”.
Our fully operational runway and connectivity to Central London via rail and road make us the perfect choice for airlines and passengers right now.”
EasyJet, which already flies from the airport, will be opening a base at London Southend this year.
