The trouble with Stansted is its like one big shrine to Ryanair. That does have some advantages and it wouldn't be a good idea to bite off the hand that feeds it but the downside is masses of routes to really random places as opposed to major hubs. That said, does Stansted have to try and be a clone of somewhere else? Could it shore up its position by attracting some additional carriers, maybe Flybe, some of the european carriers too?
