LONDON SOUTHEND AIRPORT IS NOW OPEN!
London Southend Airport is finally taking off, with
EasyJet flying 70 departures each week to the likes
of Amsterdam, Alicante, Barcelona, Belfast, Faro,
Ibiza, Jersey, Malaga and Mallorca.
Passengers arriving at the airport have a simple
and speedy start to their journey from the new light,
modern and airy fly through terminal. It lies just
under 100 paces from the new railway station and
is connected by a wide, covered walkway.
The airport is targeting a security process with a
maximum four-minute waiting time. On arrival,
passengers with hand luggage only will be able to
process through to the train station platform in just
15 minutes from leaving their aircraft.
The new train station offers up to eight services per
hour both to and from London, a seamless link
between the airport and the Olympic Park at
Stratford in just 44 minutes, whilst central London
takes just 53 minutes.
London Southend is the only UK airport with a
direct mainline rail connection with the Olympic
Games at Stratford.
From May 10, a new daily route between London
Southend and Dublin will offer Essex & East
London travellers not only excellent access to
Ireland’s capital, but also transatlantic connections
to the USA.
Three daily return services to Dublin with Aer
Lingus Regional, operated by Aer Arann, will also
offer passengers an easy and cost effective way of
travelling to New York, Boston, Chicago and
Orlando.
With no other USA flights offered East of London,
this means no more long and congested journeys
to Heathrow or Gatwick. Passengers will also
benefit from the new US Customs & Immigrations
pre-clearance facilities at Dublin Airport that will
allow them to arrive in the US as domestic passengers,
saving huge amounts of time and stress after
a long haul flight
With Aer Arann already operating up to 10 flights
per week from London Southend to Waterford,
2012 is the year that London Southend Airport
really takes off - not only as a modern, efficient
regional airport, but also as a key player in the
regeneration of Essex.

“A Word About Lee”
Sometimes it’s worth reflecting on the
value of star performers in our business.
One of these is Lee McGoldrick.
Lee first joined The Home Partnership
five years ago and in that time, I can’t
count the number of occasions I have
noted his reliability, consistency and
dedication to his job - and indeed our
customers.
Lee is now our Residential Sales
Manager and our success in property
sales of late is in no small part due to
Lee’s skill, ability, proactivity, patience
and care.
It is often said that estate agency is more
about people than bricks and mortar and
this has always been our policy at The
Home Partnership. However, Lee is simply
‘a natural’ and his easy-going and
supportive approach puts people at ease
from day one. High on integrity and
performance, coupled with a sincere
desire to help people move and a rare
attention to detail - that’s a winning combination!
What’s more, his painstaking
“nothing is too much trouble” approach
means that we have continually delivered
the results our clients have come to
expect from an award winning agency.
Lee has been pivotal in helping us
achieve our aims both as a business and
as a leader in our industry, and any of our
clients who know him will surely agree
that he exemplifies the highest calibre of
professionalism, whilst delivering an
enjoyable, personable approach.
So, on behalf of our many happy clients,
the company - and me personally - I’d like
to say a very public thank you to Lee for
everything he means to us here at The
Home Partnership. Well done!
Joanne Williams, Director.
