News last week in the local Southend press reports that, with EasyJet not currently able to operate flights to and from Alicante (as the budget airline giant currently has no aircraft based there, Southend Airport bosses are in talks with other firms over setting up flights.
London Southend airport business development director Nigel Mayes said: “This is an absolute ‘no brainer’ of a market and we are working tirelessly to get an Alicante service back into our schedules for 2023.
There are in active talks with potential partners and looking to hold further conversations with potential airline partners to bring the route back.
And airport bosses claim traffic is now returning after what has been a slow initial recovery since the pandemic.
