At a real push maybe Lufthansa might give it a go but that’s extremely unlikely with them already offering around 10 flights a day to Heathrow and the City come the summer schedule.
Could Jet2, STN's second largest airline do it? I know they are predominantly leisure/holiday focused at their STN base though, and EZY have recently made clear they have no intentions to reinstate their former STN base. I think its a real shame that MAG have so far failed to attract a good feeder airline such as Lufthansa to FRA or KLM to AMS (even though both served STN in the past many years ago). There is strong potential, given STN's catchment area for such a service and could provide many with an attractive alternative to LHR, and to a lesser extent LGW in business trips/long haul transit via FRA or AMS.
