Emirates are currently in high level talks with MAG over a second daily flight. I have heard MAG are offering to build an Emirates Sky Lounge within SAT 1 if they begin a second daily which is rumoured to be a morning flight.
These are the figures over the last week...
ARR/DEP
13/7 357/342
14/7 349/352
15/7 347/357
16/7 316/357
17/7 219/360
18/7 229/355
19/7 193/358
20/7 293/
Arrivals Load Factor: 93.7%
Departures Lod Factor 100.01%
I think my maths correct ! In a MAG announcement have seen average load factor is 80% weekly !!!
Plus every flight I have seen loading or unloading has had some freight bins or pallets.
I must say I was always confident the route would do well, but this well no, this is amazing. Just shows that Stansted can have a successful long haul route. I personally believe we will have another airline starting or at least an announcing a new long haul route before October.
