I think it is excellent that easyJet is to introduce flights from Southend Airport.

I think Aer Arann’s flights to Ireland are good, but easyJet’s will be better as they will go to many of the European destinations people want to travel to.

I think all those who are complaining about the runway extension will find themselves going on their holidays from Southend because it saves so much time, instead of driving to Gatwick or Stansted.

This is excellent for the town’s community and economy.
