Ahh, a shame 
unfortunately there is no date anywhere on the webpage as to when these plans relate to, so it isn't clear if this project was intended pre-pandemic or not, and to be honest, I don't recall having seen this pre-covid. They look great through, and I must say, a long overdue upgrade for SAT 2 if it comes to fruition.

Tui UK adds 1.1 million seats for summer 2024 | Travel Weekly
"30,000 seats added to and from Stansted"
Sadly not an awful lot compared to other airports and remains at 2 a/c. I assume additional morning slots would be tricky to obtain even if they wanted to add additional air frames.
Changes for S24 compared to S23 include additional PFO and RHO on a Tuesday and DLM on a Thursday, all seemingly replacing AYT services which remain on sale with duplicate times. Tuesday DLM switches to a third party operator. I assume AYT will also be changed to another operator in due course, can't see that route being cancelled.

Would be a shame for STN too.

I have a feeling that FR is set to become quite a bit busier at STN going forward following todays order for the new 737-MAX10. It'll be interesting how this will be handled going forward, particularly boarding 228 passengers from the smaller gates with limited/no seating. Can we assume that satellite 4 is in the pipeline?

Planes aren’t arriving till 2027! Yes Stansted is going to get busier but it’s not going to be solely due to these planes arriving in 4 years.

April 2023 pax
STN – 2,350,679 down 1.6% on Apr 2019
MAN – 2,176,450 down 8.9% on Apr 2019
EMA – 312,361 down 20.6% on Apr 2019
Manchester Airports Group (MAG) served 4.8 million passengers in April, as passenger operations continue to ramp-up towards the peak summer season.
MAG, which owns and operates Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands Airports saw year-on-year passenger numbers increase by 16.4%.
London Stansted and Manchester Airport both served more than 2 million passengers each, totalling 2.4m and 2.2m passengers respectively. Stansted’s overall figure was up 16% on last year, with Manchester’s increasing by 15% year-on-year.
East Midlands Airport saw the highest overall percentage increase for the month of April, serving more than 300,000 passengers – up 25% on 2022.
MAG’s rolling 12-month passenger total to April 2023 stood at 54.8 million passengers – up 123% on the total to April 2022.
Service levels across all three airports remain strong, with 99% of passengers at East Midlands Airport getting through security in under 15 minutes. At London Stansted the figure stood at 98%, and at Manchester Airport the figure was 96%.
In April, MAG welcomed the publication of Sustainable Aviation’s (SA) updated Decarbonisation Roadmap. Formally launched at the Sustainable Skies Summit at Farnborough, the Report set out the progress the UK aviation industry in making in the roll out of low and zero emission flight technologies. The Road-Map also explained how the UK could position itself as a world leader in aviation decarbonisation, but that increased support from the UK Government is needed to ensure this opportunity is not lost.
The Government’s Jet Zero Council, of which MAG is a founding member, also convened for its latest meeting at the Sustainable Skies Summit to discuss the industry’s progress towards net zero by 2050.

Catania cancelled
Well, that didn't last long. Looks like FR's route to Catania will be ending at the end of the summer season, having only launched in winter 22. This will also be coinciding with the cessation of all FR routes to/from Catania from late October, apparently owing to a row regarding airport fees.

New EK lounge @ STN
So have heard EK will be opening a lounge @ STN, makes perfect sense considering they are now double daily and with their F and J product on the 777, anyone else heard this or have any update on this ?
Could never understand why the no 1 Lounge shut down or why in fact the airport only has just the one mediocre lounge

Also, prior to MAG taking over STN, didn't the airport have airline lounges in each of the 3 satellites? I can understand why there would no longer be any in satellite 3, given that this is exclusively FR territory, but I think it is a shame there aren't any in satellites 1 and 2, as there is the space available for them.

EK lounge
Have heard this also, will be located in Sat 1 departures in the void space overlooking stands 12 and 13 near whsmiths. Due to the size of the space I have heard it will only be for F pax.
For example.
MAG announced way back in January on their LinkedIn page that an Emirates lounge was going to be put in place in Satellite 1 at Gate 12.
This topic has also been previously discussed on pprune a few months ago after it was originally announced.
Regarding lounges.
I was only watching a YouTube video the other day with a walk-through of the current premium lounge facility at Stansted Airport.
Premium 🤔 I've seen better facilities and decor in an IKEA restaurant. It looks more like Premier Inn rather than a Premier lounge. I certainly would not pay to use such a bland and boring looking facility. A lounge with more of an actual premium attached to it is what Stansted Airport needs. If the airport is going to attract more of a diverse airline portfolio it needs to have the appropriate lounges.
Is there space at STN for any more lounges beyond the Emirates one ? The checkin, security screening, departures, immigration hall and baggage collection areas each seem rather full at their respective peak times. I'm expecting peak summer 2023 to be as busy as 2019. And no, I don't expect the retail area to be sacrificed as it brings in far too much money. Is there perhaps structural strength in the departures area to build lounges on top of the retail units ?
The only other place I can think of, is the quiet seating area under Itsu near gates 90+
Or maybe the plans for a new arrivals terminal need to be dusted off again and a new application made to the council ?
