I would suggest that this is bad news for Stansted, the last Stansted carrier to join an alliance went down the road fairly quickly

I don’t see a move to LCY, it’s full at peak times as has already been indicated, a move to LGW is much more likely. The managing Director at Gatwick used to be at Stansted and Air Berlin is joining One World to increase the number of connections to/from Germany for the Alliance. BA will want to code share and interline which they cannot do whilst AB are operating from Stansted.

New 747-800' for STN
Just weeks after Stansted received Code F status to handle Boeing's new generation 747-8 aircraft, British Airways World Cargo has announced three of its new fleet will be based at London Stansted, operating schedules to destinations such as Hong Kong, Atlanta, Houston and Shanghai.
"The new fleet will be delivered in traditional British Airways colours and we understand the first aircraft will touchdown early next year.

Air Asia X
I assume they're flying daily with the A340-300 (326 seats) to STN.
If yes, I can't understand the latest CAA figures for STN-KUL:
June: 11,222
July: 19,836
August: 20,772 (670 per day, 335 passengers per flight!)

May I ask of your observations? Were you on the flight or just an on looker just interested that's all...
Anyway, to have the airbridge off at 7:50 after chocking at 07:17 is pretty good going IMO. Potentially the tug bar / tug could have been connected during boarding or before airbridge disconected to help speed up push back time should it be available, however this depends on type of tug, availability etc.
Air Berlin schedules a 45 minute turnaround at most airports, Stansted included. To what your ''timings'' are showing, Servisair achieved this if not much quicker! The only thing that could have delayed the push back departure will most likely have been ATC for ground clearence etc, so what do you mean ''is this normal service for air berlin''??

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but having been on the Stockholm Arlanda website last night, it states that Air Sweden will be starting ops to STN.
Does anyone have any further info at all?
Many thanks...

The TOM 737 was out of Luton for Tenerife South and got a bird strike on rotation and decided to continue to Stansted with the longer runway.
There can't have been any significant damage as it continued on to TFS.

News from Wiki that Europe Airpost start operations from Stansted this November...
Enfidha [begins 6 November], Tangier [begins 3 November], Tenerife-South [begins 4 November]
Who are these operating for as they do not appear on the Stansted Airport website's charter listing?

Belleair
Why would Belleair want to start a STN-TIA route when Albanian Airlines already operate on the route.
Looking at the Belleair website the prices for STN-TIA are not cheap plus with their extensive Italian network surely a secondary Italian city to STN would make for a better option to enter the UK market.
What aircraft do they intend using on this new route?
On another note who is taking over the Hamburg International flights on behalf of the Gambia Experience?
