I hadn’t appreciated the current timings aren’t the best for return onward connections, although they’re decent for Oz/NZ, South Africa, Bangkok and Bali. The second flight will however really open up India/Bangladesh/Pakistan, Africa and SE Asia from STN and further expand Australia.

Absolutely brilliant news for Stansted and a real boost for the airport. This is showing Stansted’s potential and that it can support long haul travel and is not just a low cost hub.

Flight Details:
EK65 DXB 0900-1330 STN
EK67 DXB 1415-1845 STN

EK66 STN 1500-0105 DXB
EK68 STN 2110-0710 DXB

Emirates making better use of the aircraft with quicker turnaround times and not having the plane sitting on the ground here for a long period.
Also good to see that they will be using the newest cabin design B77W on the new flights as well shows their is a demand for the First Class product and not just Business and Economy.
Hopefully an announcement will be made shortly about the possibility of the Emirates Lounge opening in Satellite 1.

Is it too early to ask when the 3rd daily will be announced?

I’ve seen they have A330-900N on order but looking at the maximum distance of the aircraft would not reach Stansted from Jakarta or Bali.
I’ve asked a few friends at work and from other companies and no one has heard anything as of yet.

Yes they still do, though it’s used as a spare most off the year and then on Hajj flights during the Hajj flight periods.

Lion Air’s subsidiary Thai Lion Air also has 2 A330-900 on order. Those could probably make it from Bangkok.

Now that would be interesting if it was ThaiLion.
I know when Eurowings offered long haul connections through Cologne that quite a few passengers would be on connections to Bankgkok and Phuket. Also I have seen and spoke to a number of passengers flying with Emirates to Thailand.

Great news on EK going double daily. And with First Class suites at the pointy end. Who said there’s no money to be made in the Premium offerings at London’s third airport and that it’s just perceived as a loco hub? Times are changing hopefully.
It’ll certainly be my first choice going eastbound from now on.

Jota Aviation at SEN can send up 2 RJ/146 to help TUI with 737 MAX groundings - bit range limited but could help

Suspect Titan might be getting quite a bit of business from TUI in the near future.

RYR add extra frequencies on ALC from STN between July-September 19 now for a total of 16 pw.

With EXS going to 11 pw this Summer on STN-ALC it all indicates a healthy uplift.
