They have cut the planned programme for this winter. Several routes have had flights cut that were previously available to book.
Yes there are new routes since last winter... Hamburg, Sofia, Timisoara to name a few although some Italian routes were cut previously due to the new travel tax there, so not sure exactly how it compares to last winter.
But the point is that they will now operate a reduced schedule to that previously planned for this winter, so not disastrous by any means.
And in terms of parked aircraft, there were far fewer last winter compared to previous years.

They cut frequencies every winter so it has nothing to do with Brexit
There fixed that for you, no need to argue anymore

The RYR cuts seem at odds with massive expansion up North ?
It will be interesting to see what Summer 2017 looks like for the MAG airports when schedules are loaded.

Now there are articles in several newspapers about this, for example:

Comiso did operate last winter yes. It's part of an earlier announcement where several routes in Italy will be cut / cancelled this winter due to the new tax imposed in Italy. Alghero, Parma and Pescara also will not operate from STN this winter.

Montenegro Airlines
Must of missed this one but Montenegro Airlines are currently doing a weekly Stansted to Tivat on Monday mornings until 5th September.
Still going 4x weekly from Gatwick but not sure if this was perhaps a sort of quiet toe in water in response to easyJet.

I would guess that they couldn't get slot at Gatwick for this extra (5th) rotation, especially if it is a short season flight it would be well down the pecking order for slots. This is going to be happening more and more unless the market starts to contract again.

Does anybody know how full STN is for based overnight stands inc remotes?
Given that Jet2 couldn't get into LGW or LTN simply because they are at capacity I wonder if they could have considered SEN as an alternative.
We will have to wait and see how many are based, guess they will be will sun routes only but you never know.
BHX now STN interesting!

Both FR and EZY base fewer aircraft at STN overnight now than in the past.
FR now fly far more overseas based aircraft into STN and EZY have reduced their network significantly over the years (just 7 aircraft now - was 14/15 at one time).
The only time they may have to do more remote parking is when TCX/MT have their extra aircraft over the summer holidays.

Not forgetting that SEN's opening hours aren't exactly flexible for late arrivals.
Be interesting how many aircraft they'll base and where they'll operate to. Can't think of any major gaps in STN's current offering, this is of course if/when it happens.
