The return of passenger flights to Southend has proved a massive success with holidaymakers lapping up flights to Faro, Malaga and Majorca.

Residents are eager to see which routes easyJet will fly to from Southend Airport next summer, so far the same three destinations as this year have been confirmed, but there are hopes more will be announced before than.
