If this must go ahead, I really hope the new area set aside for this is well planned, and doesn't end up with huge queues of cars stopping about 5 or 10 mins walk away from the terminal instead

everyone will pay the £2 except the locals like me who will wait by the car park barrier for their lift's

I read that this charge is unenforceable and you should refuse to pay ..... it seems a risky strategy to me

Sale

Now that the supreme court have confirmed Stansted must be sold (even though BAA are considering a further appeal), when does the sale have to be completed by? Has the clock been ticking during all the appeals and eating into the 2 year period to be sold?

In late July, the Court of Appeal turned BAA down. BAA responded by saying they would seek a Supreme Court hearing.

Have the Supreme Court already heard the case ? Can't see anything at The Supreme Court
The court is in any case in recess until the start of October, so naff all is likely to happen until then

Agree, it was not the supreme court but court of appeal. However is the clock still ticking on the sale or does it start once all proceedings have been exhausted.

Odd considering that Iceland Express (and also Icelandair as of winter 2012) are already serving LGW - REK.

And if we take into account what has happened at Gatwick of late... It won't be long before we say "Wow who?"

Regardless if they last or not. Gatwick is not the 'Emerald City' airlines that leave Stansted are lead to believe.

Not for everyone I agree, but Iceland Express and Norwegian seem very happy there, and the latter have expanded significantly. Even Air Berlin seem to be doing alright on Nuremburg. Also some airlines have dropped out of both airports simply because of the recession and huge increases in the price of fuel along with the wonderful APD (Air Asia X in particular)

Thanks for the reply ...

Heard the routing is BRN-LAX-JFK then ferry JFK-STN as QF6008 ...
But nothing on flightaware as yet.
