London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper

Representation ID: 1872

Received: 06/08/2008

Respondent: London Southend Airport

Representation Summary:

Figure 5.2 shows a Park & Ride location but more information is required on its purpose and method of operation.

With this scenario, the business and regulatory risks remain. As the number of aircraft and European airlines that can use such a short runway for commercial services declines, so too do the commercial opportunities for the airport. The risk of business failure for either airport based companies or even the airport increases commensurately and consideration would need to be given to the 1200 airport based jobs that depend on these companies.
