Another ‘Best in Britain’ award for London Southend Airport

London Southend Airport has been named the ‘Best Airport in the UK’ (with under 3 million passengers, per year) at the Airport Operators Association (AOA) Annual Awards 2015.

This latest award comes hot on the heels of London Southend Airport scooping the title of ‘Best Airport in Britain’ from Which? magazine for the 3rd year in a row.

The winners of this latest award were decided by a survey of airline members of The Board of Airline Representatives in the UK (BAR UK) and the British Air Transport Association (BATA).

Glyn Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Stobart Aviation that owns London Southend Airport, collected the trophy at an award ceremony at the Hilton Metropole in London (23 November 2015).

Glyn said “To win another ‘Best Airport in Britain’ is superb news and once again testament to all the hard work that the team at London Southend has put in.”

He added “Our unique ‘Simply Easier’ promise to passengers that include short walking distances, outstanding customer service, a lack of queues compared to other London Airports, our own station with fast and frequent train services to the heart of London every 20-minutes, and car parks right next to the terminal, are all key factors in our success and why ever increasing numbers of passengers are repeatedly choosing London Southend Airport over all the others.”
