London Southend Airport (IATA: SEN, ICAO: EGMC) is an international airport situated on the outskirts of Southend-on-Sea in Essex, England, approximately 36 mi (58 km) from the centre of London.[3] The airport straddles the boundaries between the city of Southend-on-Sea and the Rochford District.

Southend was the UK's third-busiest airport during the 1960s, behind Heathrow and Manchester, before passenger numbers dropped off in the 1970s.[4][5][6] Following its purchase by Stobart Group in 2008,[6] a development programme[7][8][9] provided a new terminal[10] and control tower,[11] extended the runway,[12] and opened Southend Airport railway station (on the Shenfield–Southend line), which provides a connection to central London via a regular rail service between Liverpool Street Station and Southend Victoria.[11]
