There will be 70 easyJet flights per week and passengers will have a choice of around ten different European destinations including Barcelona, Faro and Ibiza. Tickets will go on sale at the end of July.
London Southend Airport, with a multi million pound brand new terminal opening in autumn 2011, will be easyJet’s eleventh UK base and is located within a minute’s walk from a new train station with direct links into London. easyJet has signed a ten year partnership agreement with Stobart Group, owners of the airport.
Catherine Lynn, easyJet’s Customer and Revenue Director, said: “We are excited to be opening London Southend as easyJet’s 20th base airport. The airport is in a fantastic location just outside London with a fast rail link into the city. This is a unique opportunity to offer a world class customer experience, with passengers able to get from the plane to the train in 15 minutes.”
London Southend Airport managing director, Alastair Welch, said: “We are delighted to announce our partnership with easyJet, servicing a comprehensive variety of routes into Europe and hot on the heels of other significant developments at London Southend. This summer we open a dedicated railway station with up to eight services an hour to Stratford - site of the 2012 games, and to London Liverpool Street, both in well under an hour.”
