Well I have risen to the bait. As I always say there is nothing wrong with Stansted as it is a fine airport. Can't really see what needs improving that can be inproved by MAG.

BUT:


Exactly how does Luton compare on these figures?
You have missed the point. Stansted is operating at around half capacity while Luton is almost at capacity.

Stop banging on about rail links ! Southend international
Has a closer train station than Luton Airport has.
Which is useless for much of the day as there are no trains for the airports peak periods in the morning and late at night.

Luton will always be Luton = Dreadful town, awful airport. End of really.
Agree with your comment about the town. Bit unfair about the airport which due to massive demand is having to nearly double capacity while Stansted is struggling to hang on to its passengers.

The trouble with Luton fans is they have always wanted
Luton to be Stansted !
If Luton was Stansted Luton would have a second runway by now due to its location.

As I keep saying Stansted is a fine low cost Ryanair type airport.
