At 05.00 this morning, just one hour prior to the scheduled first wave of departures, BAA Stansted had opened just 7 out of 14 security points.
Once again flights will be delayed and more cancellations are inevitable. Already Ryanair has been forced to cancel eight flights this morning. The chaotic scenes at Stansted Airport show that there is no foundation to BAA CEO Stephen Nelson’s claim that staffing is not a problem.
Any comments on this fiasco from those close to it ?
