– Popular ski route of Geneva to launch from winter 2012-
easyJet, the UK’s largest airline, celebrate the launch of its new UK base at London Southend Airport – the first new airport in the south east for decades. Southend is the airline’s 23rd base in Europe and 11th in the UK, with a special inaugural flight taking off from the new airport to Barcelona.
Southend was once London’s third biggest as well as the home of Freddie Laker’s first airline venture. Southend will offer a fast and convenient new way to fly to and from London. The brand new terminal – which was recently officially opened by Secretary of State for Transport, Justine Greening MP – is located within a minute’s walk from the new train station with superb links into Stratford and central London.
London Southend is easyJet’s eleventh UK base which will bring three new A319 aircraft and over 150 employees to the airport, with more than 800,000 passengers expected to fly in the airline’s first year of take off.
