Stansted has an unfortunate history of transatlantic failures - they must have failed for a reason.
MAXJET and EOS were doing very well, even expanding at Stansted, American Airline were also doing well, As I said in my last post, American Airlines came to Stansted to STOP MAXJET and EOS because they were both taking business and first class passegers from the Heathrow market, That is the only reason American came to Stansted. If you think this was not the reason why whould American pull the route if it was doing well and would have done even better after it killed off MAXJET and EOS.
The fact remains that there is more than enough people who would like to use Stansted but the BIG BOYS wont let the new boys play, Well like I said, One day the very last part of aviation that has been left in the 1990's will change and it wont be the big boys who win. The change in the Longhaul market has already started and 2012 will be a very in interesting year.
