Southend flights to Paris

Amsterdam has already started and Jersey likely soon.

You cannot presently fly to Paris from Norfolk, Suffolk, or the eastern suburbs of London.  There are no air services to the French capital from London City, Norwich or Stansted airports.  The only way is by Eurostar, but if you are aiming for Disneyland with the kids the direct services have stopped.

This is about to be rectified by easyJet and Southend Airport who are introducing a four times per week service for the winter 2023 season starting 29 October. Clearly its success will mean more flights for summer 2024.

The new route is an important step forward for the airport, very badly hit by the pandemic. Paris will be the fifth destination easyJet now serves from Southend, alongside Amsterdam, Faro, Malaga and Palma Majorca.

With its own integrated rail station, direct services from London’s Liverpool Street and Stratford interchange stations, the award-winning airport also has good road connections.

“We are delighted to be launching another route from London Southend, to Paris, a city that really does have something for everyone and is popular for both business and leisure travel in equal measure.

“EasyJet is focused on providing our customers more choice and great value when they travel and so by further expanding our services at Southend, we are delighted to be serving our customers a wider range of destinations this summer, all with low fares and the warm welcome our crew are famous for.”

John Upton, CEO of Southend Airport, said: “This announcement is another reminder of our commitment to rebuilding London Southend Airport and a great example of our growth opportunity. I’m delighted to learn that London Southend is now the only airport to the east of London and southeast region flying to Paris.
