BBC Panorama tonight is on the AZN vaccine....

...so no accounts published by the end of November, as stated in the RNS. Great stuff guys!

Further to the announcement made on 30 September 2020, the Group had applied for, and had been granted by AIM Regulation, a three month extension to the timeline for publishing its audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2020 ("2020 Accounts"), which are now expected to be published before the end of November 2020.

Looks like Emerald may be toying with taking the Stobart Air team as they talk of 15 x ATR-72 operation, that would make sense all round, just the need to sell now until Jan 2023 that needs squaring?: https://www.irishtimes.com/business/transport-and-tourism/aer-lingus-poised-to-award-regional-contract-to-mccarthy-s-emerald-airlines-1.4409692

The author of that piece is wrong, SEN did not re-brand as London Southend Airport in 2012, but rather at the end of 1993, when the company was founded by Regional Airports Ltd, after having been taken over from Council municipal operation.

The CAA has counted Southend as a London airport since the 1950's.

TF Re London, It's not just a 'PR consultancy' opinion. Britains Civil Aviation Authority lists Southend as a London airport, and so do IATA.

The distance and train journey time is not too different to Stansted airport.
Also it is accepted fairly generally that the centre of London, if you like the economic locu, has and continues to shift eastwards.

Grain of truth in your other points.

listed. Not for a massive amount, but fairly unusual IMHO.

I don't know. I guess whether there is any intention to use SEN as a base may be the litmus test.

No sign of Stobart involvement here thus far: https://www.travelmole.com/news_feature.php?c=setreg®ion=2&m_id=_r~Ams~nb&w_id=38142&news_id=2044726

Cheeky mention on Ian King live too...

was had by all, I trust? What will the morrow bring I wonder...

'It's life Jim, but not as we know it' Keep taking the dilithium crystals, and lets stay at less than Warp 1 for a slow 'n steady rise.

I'm sure it means that as board members (to benefit from the options), they were barred from voting on this as it would be in their own interest. The other board members voted on it, but not them.

Birddog816: there is a lot of difference between (say) closing the terminal for 6 hours a day, and closing the whole airport for a few days a week.
But a few winters ago, the terminal would oft be closed when there were no movements scheduled. AIrcraft can still land/take-off (i.e. Cargo, business jets, private & military aircraft and training flights) and do what they need to do without the terminal. Scheduled flights need the terminal open.

Yet another un-sourced scare story from Kong13 - no doubt 'talking to pals in the area' again - with no agenda though!

...no, but at least they are continuing to fly from to Newcastle & Stansted. Southend is the worst affected by this, along with Stobart Aviation Services that does the ground handling for EZY at Stansted & Southend.
