Hi,
Just thought I'd stick my two penneth in...
First off....Ryanair!
There are 2 stansted flights a day...I saw the second one about 2 hours ago do a very imaginative left turn on its initial climb...quite a sight...!
BLK must be losing money on them being there...a serious amount.
They do not pay BLK anything for the use of the airport...i.e. no landing fee's, handling fee's, fuel, etc.
A new terminal is planned for the western side of the airport, behind where the Vulcan is. The plans include the demolition of the new GA hangar which only went up late last year under the previous administration.
All The Best!
