They have so much confidence in STN they are on a mass recruitment drive and by 2019 they hope to double summer 2018 fleet.
I'd love to see them try. They'll have 10 planes in operation for S18. I don't doubt they could meet double demand, but a 20 strong base in S19? when MAN for S18 will only have 18. Not to mention theres not enough slots/parking for them.
If They are chasing that demand, surely the LGW has to be given a chance to further capitalise on the London area
