Easyjet only came to Stansted proper when they killed off Go by taking them over. Not sure that they have ever had a love affair with Stansted with Luton being so close.
It says a lot about their Stansted thinking when they moved part of their Stansted fleet to Southend-on Sea with its reduced catchment areas that is in two directions only. Add to that the fact that Southend-on-Sea can only be used by Easyjet 18 hours a day, has no public transport early morning and late at night and their aircraft get diverted at the first sign of fog.
Stansted is piggy-in-the middle with Luton on one side and Southend-on-Sea on the other but the management at Stansted did make a song and dance when Easyjet was meant to have made a commitment to expand their Stansted operation. Maybe that commitment is still there but if it is it might well be Southend that suffers long term unless they can sort out their issues most of which are out of their control.
