Anna_list's post clearly shows what a pig's ear has been made of the STN route, down from 150K to 80K pax p.a.
All the other Ryanair stuff is positive (apart from disappointingly losing the Bristol route but even that has demonstrated that there is possible demand for a smaller operator) but I do wish the Stansted route could be sorted out once and for all: Twice daily, forget Luton (which they seem to have done), no experimenting (except for a third daily flight) and a bit of commitment. It ran fine for years then when the runway extension was completed instead of lifting the self-imposed passenger cap they removed a flight and it has all gone sour since. LDY needs a twice daily London service. Are we to believe that just because other routes are now served that there is less demand for STN?
