EasyJet has opened a new three-aircraft base at London Southend Airport.
It will run 122 flights per week across 20 routes, creating 140 new jobs in the process.
While the airline resumed flights following the Covid-19 pandemic in May 2022, this move means that EasyJet aircraft will remain at Southend permanently.
Company CEO Gary Wilson said that the base will help the airline "serve many more customers, providing value and more choice", adding that it "supports critical connectivity and jobs for the UK".
The airline is taking passengers to 13 new destinations from Southend this year, including Gran Canaria and Reus in Spain.
