FRatSTN
Did you really expect EZY to add destinations for W14/15 after transferring two routes to LTN earlier.
Unfortunately it appears at the moment that STN is lower down the pecking order, bit like FR at luton where there hasn't been a sniff of a new route for over 18 months ( Think Alghero was the last)
There is obviously a lot going on in the background that we are unaware of but for the moment you will just have to ride it out and see what S15 has to offer.

Hello from the over-hot STN departure lounge.
While I stand here (there being no seats left), may I ask a question. All the air conditioning units high upon the south-facing glass wall of the terminal (that's the side facing the sun, for those in the airport management who didn't get GCSE Geography) have large scaffolding towers erected up to them.
Did someone really schedule mainstream maintenance of the air conditioning for July ?

Anyway... Moving on. Very impressive traffic growth last month despite the French ATC disruption. Compared to June 2013:
Passengers + 11.7%
Aircraft Movements + 6.4%
Cargo Tonnage + 17.8%
Interesting to see the sudden boost in cargo after seeing declines for the last few months. Anyone know why that is?

Air con?
The unit at the top of the towers are in fact smoke extract fans. There are actually 6 units 3 east and 3 west designed to clear the building of smoke in under two mins. The air con such as it is is housed in each of the trees (roof supports) and usually works very efficiently during the winter months.

So tonight I had to book flights to Düsseldorf for Wednesday 17th of September/day return
Checked flights with Eithad Regional prices came to £117.48 return.
Checked flights with Germanwings/Eurowings came to £76 return with the extras included, ie seat selection.
Needless to say my business went to Germanwings, but just thought id check another date 15th october and the prices for each were the same.
So would seem Germanwings are offering the better deal to try and remove Eithad regional.
thought id post for those interested

I'd say that is 80% of their reason for starting this route - defending the home turf and hoping that Etihad gets bored of seeing their money being burned.

Germanwings ~ Lufthansa, who have expressed their dislike for the MEB3 a few times now, so I imagine this is one of the reasons they are trying to push Etihad Regional off the route, as they never seemed too bothered when Air Berlin were operating it.

Stansted airport website
When looking through the Stansted airport website I see that under flight timetable it still shows a drop box for winter 13 and summer 14
Has anyone any idea when this gets updated
as I'm looking for charter flights for winter 14 I would have thought
The winter program for charter flights would already be available ...
