Airports WikiProject

The section entitled "aviation history" fails to mention Channel Airways, a major resident user of the airport during the 1960s and early '70s (until the airline's demise in early 1972). During that time Channel Airways not only was one of the airport's biggest users, but also one of the UK's five leading Independent airlines (apart from British United, British Eagle, Caledonian and Skyways). Perhaps it is also worth mentioning in this section that during the aforementioned period Southend handled many more aircraft movements as well as passengers than Stansted, making it a worthy contemporary competitor to Gatwick.
