New services to Dublin, with efficient transatlantic connections
to New York, Boston, Chicago and Orlando from London Southend
Airport with Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Aer Arann.
Stobart Group and London Southend Airport welcome the news today
from Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Aer Arann, that from Summer
2012, the airline will start new daily services from London
Southend to Dublin, with connections onwards to the U.S.A through
Aer Lingus' mainline long haul service.
Scheduled to begin on 10 May 2012, the three-times daily service
will offer passengers the benefit of new U.S. Customs and
Immigration pre-clearance facilities at Dublin Airport, allowing
them to arrive in America as domestic passengers, saving valuable
time on arrival.
Stobart Group CEO Andrew Tinkler said: "This is a further
exciting development for London Southend in what is a pivotal year
in the airport's history. Dublin is a welcome addition to the
services we offer, especially with the fast and efficient onward
connections to the U.S.A. This, together with the existing
Waterford route and easyJet's first services from next month, will
take the airport to over 100 flights a week from May 2012."
The new route to Dublin and beyond complements the existing
daily Waterford service, which has been operating since March 2011.
In addition, from 2 April 2012, easyJet's schedule of 70 flights a
week starts from London Southend; to Amsterdam, Alicante,
Barcelona, Belfast, Faro, Ibiza, Jersey, Malaga and Mallorca.

runway, airport railway station providing fast and frequent train
services direct to Stratford and London Liverpool Street, passenger
terminal and airport hotel make up the development highlights under
Stobart Group's ownership. The airport is predicting passenger
growth to two million passengers per year by 2020.
