Southend Airport agree flights cap
10.10.09
New controls on flights at Southend Airport have been agreed by its owner and local councils. A new runway and transport links are being developed at the airport by the Eddie Stobart transport group.
Proposed night flights have been cut from 900 to 120 a month after an agreement was reached between the company and Southend and Rochford councils. Maximum yearly flights are to be capped at 53,000 and the definition of night-time for flights will be from 23:00 to 06:30.
Talks are reported to be under way with a number of airlines to launch new passenger services when the airport becomes fully operational.
