Airline agreement and new route to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

 

Esken Limited, the aviation and renewables group, today announces it has
signed a multi-year partnership agreement with easyJet to operate from London
Southend Airport.

 

easyJet has also today confirmed it will operate a new route from London
Southend to Amsterdam. The route will operate up to four times a week from
24(th) May with flights departing Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
throughout next summer.

 

Amsterdam will be the fourth destination easyJet now serves from London
Southend, alongside Malaga, Majorca and Faro. The airline has also announced
up to an additional four flights a week to Faro.

 

The addition of the new route and increased frequencies to Faro means the
airline will now operate up to 18 weekly departures this summer - a 30%
increase compared with last summer.

 

Lewis Girdwood, Esken Executive Director, Aviation said, "The partnership
agreement demonstrates that our offering is resonating with our airline
customer and is an endorsement of London Southend Airport's proposition.

 

"The agreement allows easyJet to develop its network and capacity at London
Southend Airport over the coming years and the announcement of a new route to
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is another step toward rebuilding our capacity.

 

"London Southend Airport has proven routes, cost effective operations, and an
attractive and growing catchment area. Its location to the east of London
means passengers can be off the aircraft and at the station in under ten
minutes and travel by train to Liverpool Street Station, in the heart of
London, in 52 minutes."
