All four people onboard a medical repatriation aircraft died when it burst into flames seconds after taking off, resulting in a three-day closure of the airport.
EasyJet, which bases three aircraft at Southend, has been diverting flights to Gatwick and Luton. A spokesperson for the Essex airport said it would partially reopen on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s full reopening.
"Four easyJet flights will land at London Southend Airport this evening [Wednesday 16 July]," they said.
