I assume the ex Fayair hangar is safe but access will be only from airside via Harrods existing entry point.

New flights to Canada YHM via Iceland
New low-cost carrier from Iceland Play will be doing flights from Stansted and Liverpool to Hamilton Toronto YHM (90 minutes drive from Toronto)
5 flights a week from June 22 from Stansted, and 2 flights a week from Liverpool -- all go via a KEF Reykjavik stop. Snack/Drinks are BoB
You can connect there and go on to BOS BWI IAD and also to New York, SWF, Stewart International Airport, 60 miles north of Manhattan.
Play's initial fleet consisted of three Airbus A321neo aircraft, all of which were formerly operated by defunct Mexican airline Interjet.
In September 2021, the airline announced its first fleet expansion with orders for three Airbus A320neos and a fourth A321N for early 2023.
The airline also signed a letter of intent in August to receive two more A320neos.
Play specified that an Airbus A321neo it was due to receive in anticipation of its recently announced Orlando route would be the A321NX/LR variant, for delivery during May 2022.
Play decided to delay delivery of it and cancel the planned Orlando MCO route due to rising fuel costs.
The airline instead replaced the A321LR with an A320neo, thereby planning to operate a fleet of five A320neos and three A321neos for summer 2023, the airline's A321neos began seating reconfigurations to increase their capacity from 192 to 214.

Upcoming projects
In an email sent out to MAG staff at Stansted. The airport will begin soon two new projects after gaining approval from the business planning department. One is the Emirates lounge in SAT1 and the other is a new drive through facility on Thremhall Avenue. This will include a coffee and fast food outlet and an electric charging point for vehicles in a parking area.
Both were projects planned for pre covid.
Also brand new CT X-Ray machines will slowly be rolled out within security after successful trials in the security forecourt extension.

[QUOTE=STN406;11379917] One is the Emirates lounge in SAT1
Expect a 3rd daily flight to be announced- my guess around 10am-ish
From my Emirates induction/training they only open their own lounges when there’s a minimum of 3 flights a day.

Stansted is in desperate need of some alternative lounge options. Whilst functional, The Escape Lounge is small and lacks its own washrooms/shower facilities.
A third daily EK flight is still a way off IMO seeing as the second daily hasn’t yet started. More likely that one of the two daily flights would be switched to A380 before we see further increase in schedules.

[QUOTE=strawberry Ribena;11379935]Pre covid the lounge was gonna go in with only two daily flights. And I know they have many lounges at airports around the world that don’t have 3 daily flights. Perth, Hamburg and Boston for example.

Who's chartering flights with Southwind between Stansted and Turkey ? While registered in Turkey and officially a Turkish airline, they have rather strong ties to Russia...

Done some test bookings around Jewish holidays and fares are not stupid prices from LHR or LTN so very unlikely to be needed as just dilutes fares. El Al have added occasional x3 day to Luton in the past anyhow.
