Barcelona return for Sally

 easyJet has confirmed the initial destinations that it will operate at Southend Airport, from April 2012.  Seats have already gone on sale to Amsterdam, Alicante, Barcelona, Belfast, Faro, Ibiza, Malaga and Mallorca.

In the first year 800,000 passengers are expected to fly, the airline basing three 156-seat Airbus A319 at the Essex airport under a ten-year agreement.

Last week Southend Airport announced that its new railway station had become operational with up to eight services an hour into Stratford Regional (approx 40mins and home to the 2012 London Olympics) and Liverpool Street (approx 50mins).  This comes on top of flights that currently operate to Jersey, Waterford and Galway with Flybe and Aer Arann. www.easyjet.com
