However, should they be unable to acquire further slots there (no doubt BA will be keeping a close watch on this), does the next best option for UK growth come through STN? They have all but maxed out their base at LTN, and have expressed desire to grow beyond Luton, hence the entry into DSA and LGW. IIRC, Wizz Air did originally serve STN back in 2007/8, but pulled out after FR started serving the STN-KTW route. The airport has since undergone a lot of change following MAG's takeover, so I wonder if they would be tempted to give STN another go, especially with the recent closure of EZY's base?
Wondering if BHX is on the radar as an option to adding capacity. Certainly seem to be increasing services from there with Wizz Mainline
