Kudos to easyJet though.
That's Ryanair's descision, not STAL.
Since EasyJet are operating then the airport is enabling them to.

If all other Ryanair flights are full then they have little choice
Load factors are in the high 90%, they lost so many flights they simply don't have the airframes, crews or airport capacity to simply add that number of flights tomorrow or the day after.

No doubt any spare capacity is being utilised but I guess that has all gone until thursday
