New Essex airline flies from Southend to France

As the queues from Stansted get longer, Flywatch Air Services takes you from Southend Airport to Europe at low cost. Essex’s own airline Flywatch Air Services offers a personal, friendly service to Le Touquet, France – the first scheduled flights to the destination in 30 years from Southend.

With pine woods and sandy beaches surrounding the town, you can be in beautiful Le Touquet in 40 minutes. Bikes are available for hire at Le Touquet airport, which is a 15 minutes great cycle ride from the picturesque town through sand dunes and pine forests. Glamorous casinos provide elegant evening entertainment, while horse riding, golf, undercover swimming pools and first class restaurants and hotels make for an excellent day trip or weekend away.

If the bright lights and big city call either for business or pleasure, take the Skytrain directly onward from Le Touquet to Paris. The plane can also be privately hired with pilot for essential trips to any destination – for business or pleasure.

You can be on the aircraft within 30 minutes of arriving at the airport. Parking at Southend Airport is free and the airport is situated near to Rochford Station, just 50 minutes from London Liverpool Street station. Proximity to the M25, A127 and A13 is enviable.

Managing Director and Chief Pilot Tony Gunn reveals: “We are very flexible to your individual needs and we can be your own private airline if groups of 7 people charter the entire aircraft. We are putting the fun back into flying.”

For passengers with an interest in flying, one gets to sit beside the pilot. Please request this upon booking. With all flights below 10,000 ft there are great views on your journey, but more importantly no air traffic delays to get stuck in. All (name and make of aircraft) aircraft are flown by experienced crews, while goody bags will be given out for free onboard, containing hand wipes, soft beverages and snacks to see you through the journey.

Flywatch also offers gift vouchers; perfect for Christmas, birthday or Valentine’s gifts.

With flights starting on March 1st to Le Touquet; to Bruges/Ostend from April and services to Calais during July and August, book early to avoid disappointment.
