Connecting Ryanair and Southwest Hubs
There are now widespread reports of both Ryanair and easyJet feeding long haul as an extension of their existing operations. How long before Stansted sees daily trans- Atlantic to NYC, LAX, YYZ etc.? and links through a Gulf hub? It's going to be a while before any if the traditional hubs beyond Rome, Madrid and Dublin have enough LCC volume to make the longhaul feed worthwhile.
My bet is 2017 will see regular services from STN both east and west, announced before end 2016. The question is who? What about connections with the Southwest hubs in the US?
