re. the capacity constraints at STN, is this more to do with the fact with the current terminal being at peak capacity? I could also see a full A380 load of passengers being an issue to transport to/from satellite 1 with the current TTS, which was never designed for the volume of passengers that use it today. There would also be a lot of overcrowding at gate 12 (which EK use) I feel if the A380 did come to Stansted.
