I'm sure at some point TUI will resume long haul leisure flights again from London Stansted. A huge market that is now totally overlooked from the airport. The most obvious destination being Melbourne (Orlando), possibly Cancun and a long shot a return to Las Vegas and Montego Bay. As well as a winter series of flights to Barbados in connection with P&O Cruises fly cruise operations based in the region.
There are massive gaps in Tui’s short haul offering from STN that needs addressing before any long haul considerations. Routes not currently featured include some of the most popular tourist destinations; Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Faro, Agadir, Cape Verde, Enfidha (Tunisia), Hurghada, Larnaca, Bodrum, Santorini, Skiathos, Kos, Dubrovnik and Naples. They don’t even feature any mainland Spanish airports such as Reus, Alicante or Malaga. A third based short haul aircraft is desperately needed in the summer months for a more diverse offering. Their current offering is very limited to say the least.
