The rise and fall of Southend Airport

There is quite a lot for the owners and managers at Southend to ponder. As will other owners at smaller airports where larger competition is nearby.

On the whole, I’d rather use a smaller airport like Southend rather than a bigger one like Stansted.
Christmas trees, (well it is that time of the year,) new transport facilities in Venice, more help for people with disabilities at airports and the end of the Thomson holiday name attract Adrian’s attention this week.
Truck drivers were a fairly easily described group. T-shirt wearing with copies of the Sun in the front of their dashboards who are casually dressed in clothes, stubble and manner. Then along came Eddie Stobart drivers and their green trucks. They wore ties, dressed smartly and all the trucks were named after girls’ names. They got a reputation for good courteous driving and an Eddie Stobart driver was seen as a cut above the rest. But the company own more than trucks.
Now they own airports;- Southend and Carlisle.
