Anyone remember Highland Express? Operated a solitary 747-100 (G-HIHO) which I believe ended up with Virgin
Operated STN-PIK-EWR and back. I travelled on them once, from STN. They offered the (then) cheapest fare London to Scotland which was a set £19. Such good value that the plane was full for the short leg to PIK.
The PIK-EWR leg was generally pretty empty.. They didn’t last long.
Sometime around ‘88-‘89 at a guess.
Highland Express is a good idea for a discussion during the week as it's an airline that we've not really touched on yet in the Stansted Airport History and Nostalgia thread.
Another topic worth discussing in the Stansted Airport History and Nostalgia thread are the Canadian airlines that previously operated from London Stansted Airport. We've already covered the US airline's operating affinity charters into London Stansted Airport on page 1
