On another positive note EL AL have closed all reservations from STN, again hopefully they return when this is over.
I was also wandering what the status of the Stansted transformation project is?
I hope that they will. Since the loss of AtlasGlobal, STN lacks a service to the main airport in Istanbul, so the gap is there. I would have thought that TK could return to STN to make it work, given the huge number of connections available via IST, not to mention that TK already services both LHR and LGW 3-4 times each daily. So demand clearly is there (or at least it was prior to COVID-19), so there may be a case for TK to reintroduce STN to the network once all this is over- would certainly be nice seeing them back at Stansted after 10 years away.
Also, as noted above, what is the current progress of the STN transformation project? What further work is being planned to the terminal/satellites etc?
