Representation ID: 2435

Received: 07/08/2008

Respondent: Inflite Southend Ltd

Representation Summary:

Secure interest and commitment from prospective aircraft operators who would potentially fly services from Southend airport using the lengthend runway. If this can be achieved, businesses will grow naturally to support airport services such as freight handling and forwarding, aircraft maintenance, ground handling and travel services.

Full text:

Development of the airport and the lengthening of the runway has been proposed many times before. Without a positive decision one way or the other, little enthusiasm can be expected from prospective investors and developers to bring businesses to the current limited facility and its surrounding area.
