Substainability is a moot point when we are discussing potential expansion of an airport. Given the short & medium term out look for the aviation industry, with spare capacity at other local major airports about to reveal itself (Ryanair grounding 15 out of its 43 aircraft at Stansted this winter as just one example), the already weak case for expanding Southend Airport appears even weaker, & should not be supported by Rochford.
