I'm also surprised that there has been zero mention/indication of satellite 4 at STN, considering this has been floated about for years. If ever there was a need for it, I'd definitely say it would be now, considering how quickly STN has been recovering from the pandemic. Although, I'm wondering if MAG are planning to increase satellite 2 utilisation first prior to satellite 4 coming into the works? Compared to satellite 1 and satellite 3, sat 2 does feel very under used with the occasional Ryanair, Lauda and easyJet departures.
SAT2 underused ? Not sure how or why you think this. First wave every stand is used same as SAT1 and 3 then thought-out the day it’s used just as much as the other two. The only exception would be the gates 81-88 are used a little less than gates 29-39.
Until plans are shared of the full extent of the extension it won’t be clear to see what’s happening in terms of changes to the SAT’s. In the last project for expansion pre covid. A new link bridge to SAT2 was going to happen and a full renovation to SAT2 was planned to have a similar design to SAT1. You’d imagine this would be the same to make the most of gate to stand availability during peak hours.
