Santa Flights return to London Southend airport for Christmas 2019

The Christmas flights are all raising money for good causes which are chosen once the fundraising total has been calculated.

Last year, the event raised more than £14,000.

“The festive Santa Flights are a truly magical day out for the children and their families, so we are delighted to be able to provide them again, whilst also raising much-needed funds for fantastic local charities and good causes,” Glyn Jones, chief executive officer of Stobart Aviation, owners of London Southend airport, said.

Tickets are £80 per person, or free for children under two years old if they are seated with an adult, and go on sale on 6 November. There will be two release times, 11:00 until 12:00 and 19:00 till 20:00.

On 7 December there will be two flights taking place, from 13:00 to 16:00 and 15:00 to 18:00 including check-in.
