Long time since I’ve been on here but I don’t see Gerry posting his usual nonsense anymore. It’s the car crash we all predicted over 3 years ago come to fruition
Where Gerry? He always had a view on this
Well that announcement is going to set the cat amongst the pigeons
Supercharger has short circuited
Ah Gerry
That wasn’t a slight at you, I appreciate your views too - just a view that moni was generally on the ‘moni’ when it came to overall direction of travel
Always enjoy the debate on here. The person who has routinely called this right over time is Moniman.
You don’t get me do you Gerry - I’m here for the entertainment!!
Enjoy the eggs
Those stubby little fingers can’t stop typing m can they Gerry!
Have a lovely Easter and see you on the other side for some more ramping
Now now Gerry - let’s not start getting mean because you don’t like some of the information being posted. I’m not the author just passing it on for the greater good
As I’ve said before I’ve no dog in this fight but this board is always a cracking read!!
Ah but this is the one that keeps giving
Ha neither I’m afraid chaps. Just posting the facts as they appear

Southend Airport was formally recognised as a municipal airport in the 1930s. It has operated commercially as a municipal airport for over 85 years. Through the 1960s until the end of the 1970s, it was London’s 3rd busiest airport until Stansted took this title from it. These past operations were conducted in the knowledge that the runway length restricted the type and size of aircraft that could use Southend Airport, thereby controlling the commercial nature of what was a municipal, rather than a main hub airport. Stobart Aviation took over control of the airport operations in 2008. In 2010, the airport received planning permission to extend the runway length by 300 metres. Extending the runway length significantly changed the dynamics of the commercial operations and the size of the aircraft that could use the runway and the airport facilities.
Prior to the change in the Section 106 agreement, the airport could conduct up to 900-night flights per month. The current Section 106 licence agreement between Southend-on-Sea Borough Council and the airport operator was a significant reduction and only permits up to 120 Air Traffic Movements (ATMs) per month at night (between the hours of 23:00 and 06:30). This excludes ATMs of an emergency nature or for other unscheduled reasons, such as diverted aircraft from other airports etc.
Due to the orientation of the runway in relation to the residential conurbations of Southend and Rochford, the direct impact the airport has on those living within the operational area of the airport and the flight path, is significant and disproportionately high when compared to almost all other major and municipal airports in the UK. This factor alone should not be underestimated in any considerations. Another significant consideration is that airports and aircraft noise are exempt from general ‘noise nuisance’ legislation, meaning that it is virtually impossible to take any effective localised action against aircraft or airport noise nuisance.
The airport is a polarising subject for Southend and its residents. Whilst the commercial benefits for the local economy must be acknowledged, this has to be in viewed in context and in contrast to the negative impacts its operations have on the environment and on residents who live under the flight path. Economic benefits alone should not be the overarching or single-minded consideration when evaluating the airport and its benefits and impacts on residents. Those that are not directly affected by the ground operations or the aircraft flight path and noise generally are supportive of the airport and its expansion plans. Those directly affected by the aforementioned, generally have a very different and opposing view.
The current CEO of Southend Airport was responsible for the rapid and significant expansion of Luton airport, taking it from under 2 million passengers annually to over 16 million pas
Have ceased operations after 3 flights
An interest but no agenda - it’s a fascinating watch
I apologise if you do not ‘like’ the news but I’d rather be informed than not - better to have a wealth of views than be stuck in an echo chamber. Do what you wish with the information
Well - I guess we will see if it is a scare story or not in time won’t we?
Still no agenda. But happy for you to build one
Have heard that Southend airport will be shutting for a few days a week going forwards - reliable source

I’m guessing today will be driven by this news?
