Stansted-4
But I stand corrected if that is the case. But nonetheless, Qatar in one way or another is already well established at STN. It therefore would not surprise me if Qatar Airways at "some point" in the future started passenger operations from Doha to STN. I can forsee "at some point" in the future Qatar Airways serving all three of Londons major airports in the same way as Emirates does.

One of the possibilities mentioned was that Frontier Airlines would consider transatlantic flights from one of their hub airports such as Newark

And Frontier quoted as talking to SNN so probably would run fights from strongholds in Denver, Dallas and Pheonix. They won't be getting XLRs until 2026 to a way off anyhow.
If that's the case and Frontier do eventually decide to go transatlantic it'll more likely be from their Philadelphia then. Philadelphia was actually mentioned in the article that I had read. Newark on the other hand was a bit of an artistic speculation on my part. So as you have pointed out, without any significant presence at Newark I can't see them going transatlantic from there then.

Although the Qatar freight flights were originally operated on behalf of BA Cargo I was under the impression that the current STN flights were for Qatar Cargo. I was under the impression that the current Qatar freight flights into LHR were operated on behalf of BA Cargo.

The entire capacity is marketed via both parties to the agreement, primarily via Liege , London , Zaragoza and Madrid .

Emirates
Anyone know how well Emirates are doing at STN? When this route originally first started, both flights to DXB were operated by the "Game changer" 777-300ER, featuring the airline's new First class cabin. However, towards the end of last year to date, I've noticed that these are no longer featured featured on STN flights which is a shame. Is this a case of lower demand for F at STN? I'm aware that EK are now using the 77W with new F on 1 of their LHR sectors until March, so I'm wondering whether the STN equipment change is just temporary? Also seeing on Airliners.Net that a third daily flight is likely to launch this year

You are just as likely to see Qatar Executive aircraft at Luton and Farnborough. They just go where the business hirer wants them to go.
I'm sure if Qatar Airways want more London capacity they just approach their alliance Partner who will lease them more LGW slots.

Qatar was supposedly looking at a STN launch initially for 2020 but it got pushed back to a potential 2021 launch, then of course after Covid hit never happened. I think they will launch eventually but maybe not now till STN-TP is delivered.

I and not doubting EK will launch one day, just the fact of Cargo & Executive units at STN will have no baring on this.
Or not doubting Qatar will launch one day for that matter

Supposedly the designs for the terminal extension programme at STN are being finalised now according to the recent press release. Hopefully it won't be much longer before we find out, looking forward to seeing images Also hoping some of the satellite and gate areas will (finally) receive a well needed upgrade!
