London Southend airport will shut for more than half of the week from Monday due to the complete collapse in passenger demand caused by the coronavirus outbreak.
From next week, the airport will only be open between 16:30 and 21:30 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays due to severely reduced service.
Due to the onset of stringent travel restrictions and border closes, Southend’s partners Easyjet and Ryanair have suspended all flights from the airport until May at the earliest.
Wizz Air will continue to operate three weekly flights to Bucharest, and Loganair will run three flights to both Aberdeen and Derry a week.
