My initial thoughts on other possible Airport was NCL. Norwegian, MT, VS, BA have most other areas of the UK covered, leaving the Northwest and the Southwest/South Wales.
Primera have taken a battering in terms of performance at BHX, but BHX aside and looking at now and the future, how is the performance doing for STN?
From what I can see the current LH schedule stands at:
Stansted
STN - YYZ
Summer - Tu, Th, Sa until 23rd Aug when it slowly increases on certain days and goes Tues-Sun from 11th Sep until Oct 30th
Winter - Drops back to Tu, Th, Sa until March 19
STN-BOS
Mo, We, Fr, Su until Oct 18, not on sale for Winter
STN-IAD
Summer (Starts 22nd August) Mo, Tu, Th, Sa until 29th Oct (With the odd extra days end of Aug/Start Sept)
Winter - Switches to Mo, We, Sa until 14th Dec where Fr flight commences in addition until end of March
STN-EWR - Daily both Summer and Winter until end of March.
Aircraft needed - 2 until end of Aug, increasing to 3 from end of August.
Paris CDG
CDG-BOS - Tu, Th, Sat until end of Oct, not on sale for Winter
CDG-EWR - Mo, We, Fr, Su until 14th August where it becomes daily until end of March. Interesting to note up to 14th August some flights are showing fully booked or "less than 4 seats"
CDG-YYZ - Mo, We, Fr, Su until end of Oct then Mo, We, Fr from Nov-Mar
CDG-YUL - Commences 28th Oct Tu, Th, Sa, Su until end of March
Aircraft needed - 2 but 1 only appears to be used Mo, We, Fr, Su (??) not including TLV below.
CDG-TLV - Daily from end of Oct until March (Depending on aircraft used)
Given that they are supposed to be receiving 8 A321's (6x neo + 2LR) in 2018, albeit now delayed they are going to have to quickly come up with a backup plan to replace the BHX operation and utilise the remaining 3 aircraft. Up to the end of August they require 4 aircraft, going up to 5 from the end of August. So i'm guessing Euroatlantic will still be around until the 5th A321 is delivered.
