Now BAA have agreed to sell Stansted, and want a new owner in place within the next year. The likes of Luton is gonna have to up there gain, to keep airlines and passengers happy...
On the news report on BBC Look East this evening, experts seem to predict there is going to be a fierce war between the likes of Gatwick, Stansted and Luton to retain airline business and gain new business.
I hope the sale doesn't come at the detriment of Luton, but something in my bones seems to sense the airport will suffer.
All it would take is a good deal and better facilities from the new owners to tempt the likes of Wizzair or for Ryanair to centralise all their flights back at Stansted. Also attracting altogether new airlines and routes could become a whole lot harder!
