DEVELOPING A GREAT NEW FUTURE

London Southend Airport is a long-established regional airport for South East Essex and is the Eastern Gateway to London. A new airport railway station providing fast and frequent train services direct to Stratford (for Docklands and Canary Wharf) and to central London’s Liverpool Street Station will soon provide its passengers with faster door-to-door times inbound to London than most other London airports - and at lower costs.

Southend Airport is already “home base” to a wide range of aviation companies, airlines and operators, with more than 1300 people employed across the airport

A multi-million development scheme - including new control tower, terminal building and high-quality hotel - is currently being progressed to extend the range of passenger services facilitated by the new airport railway station.

The airport is a major asset of the Thames Gateway Regeneration Zone, and enjoys positive support from its community and local authorities for the introduction of more scheduled passenger services to European destinations. As a long-established regional airport we are committed to meeting the needs of our community and we appreciate their support for the plans which are being rolled out in time for the Olympics.

You should find everything you need to know about the airport on this website. We hope you’ll soon agree with the many businesses and individuals who already believe that Southend Airport is the ideal eastern gateway for its local community and London.
