The airport is hoping to make a virtue of its location, uncrowded terminal and rail links
Southend is the smallest of six airports that style themselves as London hubs after rebranding in 2012London Southend Airport, devoid of flights since Ryanair pulled out in October, is making a push to find new airline tenants for 2022’s summer season.
Southend is the smallest of six airports that style themselves as London hubs after rebranding in 2012. While it’s also the most distant from the UK capital, Esken is seeking to make a virtue of its vacant runway slots, competitive pricing, uncrowded terminal and rail links direct to the City financial district.
Southend, an hour east of London by train from Liverpool Street station, catered to about 2-million passengers a year before the coronavirus crisis as it pursued ambitious plans to rival the discount hubs of Stansted and Luton. Esken turned to Carlyle Group to help safeguard Southend’s future, securing a £125m loan in August from an infrastructure fund of the private-equity firm, convertible into a 30% stake in the airport.
