Results published today. Couldn't see much of new interest on aviation, and virtually no mention of Stobart Air (the airline).

"Passenger numbers at London Southend Airport increased by 9% to 1.09m passengers.
Planning permission secured and construction underway for air/road freight distribution centre at Carlisle Lake District Airport
At London Southend Airport, we are working towards securing longer term passenger volumes and are in constructive discussions with a number of potential airlines.
An interim dividend of 2.0p was paid on 5 December 2014. The Board is proposing a final dividend of 4.0p (2014: 4.0p) per ordinary share totaling £13.1m (2014: £13.2m paid on 4 July 2014) and giving a maintained total dividend for the year of 6.0p. We expect to maintain our current dividend payment level and will continue to partially fund it from property disposals in the short term.

Our main KPIs in this division are passenger numbers and revenue per passenger. The infrastructure and new management team are in place to deliver our target of over 2.5 million passengers annually by 2018 and we have created capacity to handle up to 5 million passengers per annum through the new terminal.
In the past year, we have grown passenger numbers travelling through London Southend Airport by 9% to 1.1 million and increased revenue per passenger by 8.5% to £20.80.
We offer significant peak capacity availability and fast turnaround times at a low cost base for airlines that want a hassle-free experience for their customers. Access to the airport is good with a regular rail connection to Liverpool Street Station taking around 50 minutes and plenty of parking availability for passengers travelling by car. Our customers are important to us and after listening to them we improved the new terminal catering facilities and developed safer and more efficient security arrangements. For the second year running we received the Which? award for airport customer satisfaction.
We are seeing interest from a number of large European operators who consider London Southend Airport a very attractive option to serve the London market. In the short term we are expecting passenger numbers to remain flat while we build these partnerships with new operators and extend relationships with existing operators to deliver sustainable routes.
Outlook
Good progress has been made in the delivery of our volume targets for the Energy and Aviation divisions. We continue to realise value from mature assets and businesses. Our focus is now on getting new airlines into London Southend Airport, finalising our supply chain for the Energy division and driving external works in the Rail division.
