Shame, but also understandable
Is there any other way in the interim at least that MAG could attract a more diverse airline mix to STN, including more long haul? Emirates have already demonstrated that demand for full service long haul from STN can work, and I'm sure that the 2nd daily frequency will be restored soon.
I also think that it is a shame that STN currently lacks a European feeder airline (no doubt this has largely been due to FR). In the past, Stansted has seen KLM (AMS), Lufthansa (FRA) and SAS (CPH), and AB (TXL, DUS) and of course KLM UK did have a sizeable operation at one point, with various destinations beyond AMS. With EZY now running less services to AMS than previously following the base closure, it would be nice to see KLM back at STN, as this would open up a whole host of connections via Amsterdam.
