## Description

easyJet's return as a based airline transformed London Southend Airport (IATA: SEN, ICAO: EGMC): from 30 March 2025 it stationed three Airbus A320neo here, helping lift traffic to around 720,000 passengers in 2025, up roughly 150% year on year from 287,000. The regional airport at Southend-on-Sea, Essex, on the Thames Estuary, sits about 15 m above sea level with a direct rail link to London Liverpool Street in around 55 minutes; easyJet and Ryanair mainly serve European leisure destinations. Scheduled air cargo has ended — the last freight service (ASL Airlines for Amazon to Rome) closed in September 2022, and low-cost belly capacity is negligible. For meaningful freight volumes, London Stansted (STN) is the nearest cargo airport.
