fraSTN
Business passengers just don't want to travel to the sticks ,thats why American Airlines failed twice, and others like SAS likewise. Thats the bottom line problem for STN Im afraid. Only TK have been a success.
Unless the Govt forces large full airlines into STN they won't switch from LHR.Even then likely they wouldn't get the top end passengers,who will use other airlines out of LHR.
The next problem is the alliances..
What does the Govt do.. say to One World you can stay at LHR but Star Alliance airlines have to go to STN..utterly crazy, as they would just connect via another Euro Hub instead.
