Interesting article and analysis by anna.aero regarding Jet2 entering Stansted next summer.
Jet2.com to take on Ryanair at London Stansted in S17
What I find interesting/disappointing is that in the years in which MAG have owned Stansted, Ryanair's market share has increased significantly while easyJet's and other airlines have decreased.
MAG always go on about how they've transformed Stansted, returned it to growth and have got a greater mix of airlines when the truth is all STN's growth is Ryanair and they spent £80m on World Duty Free.
STN is lucky Ryanair has been so loyal but they need to get more airlines desperately and spend money on the facilities asap.
I wonder if a Middle Eastern and an American ariline will come in any time soon? There was a lot of rumors last year regarding Qatar and AA coming in but all dried up.
