Stansted was and remains a loco airport with the exception of Emirates, to whom the usual rules don’t apply due to an overwhelming critical mass of connections. Aside from Jet2, I can’t see any established airline launching New York. If Jetblue decide to enter the London market, surely to goodness it will be Gatters. Loads are ALWAYS good if you sell at “too good to be true” prices. All Primera have done is shown once again why STN doesn’t do well in this market.
Do you actually know why continental left ?
Do you know why American came and Left ?
Do you know how much wealth is in the catchment for Stansted ?
Do you know How overcrowded LGW is on the Newyork route ?
Do you know how hard it is to get slots at LGW ?
