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 24th 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."
