Third new Ryanair route for Stansted already. Looking good for 2013 so far and hopefully many more new ones to come. I think if I remember correctly, there were 11 new ones for 2012 and only 3 were axed at Stansted.
Indeed, don't forget Lublin and Maastricht however which commence in December.
Is this due to an increase in capacity (either through a increase in STN / OPO based aircraft or via aircraft based elsewhere) or is it simply because other underperforming routes served by STN based aircraft have been culled / reduced instead ?
Went to Strasbourg (by train) several years ago - lovely place in the summer.
Last summer three B738's sat idle until Midday at Stansted so there is scope for new routes or increases to existing ones. Considering they had 41 based aircraft at Stansted last summer there's room for increasing the utilization of aircraft there.
