I only hope that they are getting on with talks between some long haul airlines to add some new and existing destinations to the departure boards.
Well they had talks with La Compagnie which didn't go to well as La Compagnie decided that Stansted and its association with Ryanair made Stansted just too low cost for their New York service.
Surprised that upmarket Luton stole the new route from under the nose of MAG after all the comments from MAG about their assault on the long haul market. Clearly something went wrong with their negotiating position.
If you strip out the Ryanair factor the airport would have substantially less passengers than that airport that is next to the M1. Ryanair might be Stansted's biggest customer but it is also their biggest millstone around their neck.
