Not sure I have answers to those specific questions, but there's quite an interesting read here on the construction element of the main Terminal extension:
https://www.newcivilengineer.com/lat...on-23-05-2025/
The Domestic Arrivals area has already moved and this makes way for an extension of the security area into the current orientation zone where the main WDF entrance is, which is already hoarded off.
Satellite reconfiguration with pre-boarding areas, including SAT 2, will be happening, but I'm not sure what the construction/phasing of that is currently.
Not really part of STN-TP as such, but the old Wetherspoons bar in SAT 2 by Gates 37/38 has been gutted out and is now just general dwell space with new flooring. Maybe that gives a possible impression of what SAT 2 may aesthetically look like more widely.

RJ looks to be going daily in August as well as October now.
Their route to Amman will resume on 15th July. 5x weekly. Hopefully with the neos arriving they will be able to operate a more consistent schedule than they have been recently with all the last minute cancellations and current suspension.
The route is currently on sale 4x weekly for next winter increasing to 5x weekly again next May.

Today, June 06, 2025, Emirates is increasing its daily service to Manchester from the current 4 flights. This will involve using the Airbus A380, which is Emirates' flagship aircraft, offering a 4-class configuration with Premium Economy seating options.
The expected 5th daily flight will use the B773.

According to several outlets Emirates are planning on adding an additional 5th daily flight between DXB and MAN to start from the beginning of the IATA northern winter season 2025.
Until it's officially announced by Emirates it's pure speculation at this point but certain outlets online seem to suggest a 5th daily flight to MAN.
Obviously I would much prefer a third daily flight from STN 👍

I too appreciate your information. My comment was in reply to your post where you stated that the 4th daily DXB-MAN started today which is indeed not the case.
I am interested in your information could you link it? The loads on MAN-DXB certainly suggest an upgrade in frequency to 4 daily but 5 is a lot and I would’ve have thought Emirates would have tried 4 daily first before upgrading to 5. That being said MAN could possibly sustain it.

All I did was do a search for,
'Emirates to add 5th daily manchester flight'.
I've tried a few times since I read your post with different results but if you search as I did then hopefully you will read something similar.
I must admit that I was rather surprised when I initially read it but as Emirates are supposedly be adding an additional daily flight to a yet unnamed UK airport it could be credible. 🤔
Edit...I was mistaken when I quoted that the 4th rotation starting today (yesterday). I do apologise as it was todays (yesterday) date. I accidentally typed.

Rather than searching online, why not go to the airline's website itself.
Emirates' own timetable confirms the current schedule of EK21, EK17 and EK19 being the only DXB-MAN daily services at the moment... all A380 equipment.
As mentioned above, it is QR who have recently increases their DOH-MAN to 4x daily on some days of the week week. The rumoured EK increase to 4x daily.in winter could be seen as a response to QR, although looks to be at a different time of day.

Clear indication Manchester IS a very significant city for Emirates.
The fourth flight will further enhance that. AND increase cargo capacity at the same time .
Bold moves across the board .

I see the planning application to Uttlesford District Council has gone in to raise pax limit to 51m pax plus additional works.
Airfield works comprising two new taxiway links to the existing runway (Rapid Access Taxiway and Rapid Exit Taxiway) to enable continued airfield operations of 274,000 aircraft movements and an increase in passenger throughput from 43 million terminal passengers to up to 51 million terminal passengers, in a twelve month calendar period

Play could be discontinuing Stansted soon as it remodels itself to stay solvent.
Going is market to route pax via KEF to US and coming is greater holiday routes for Icelandic citizens to Europe’s sunshine spots.

I’m not sure Play carry that many connecting pax as the US network is tiny, nonetheless the proposed route map does indeed omit STN along with most other cities that aren’t generally hot and sunny. It does mention seasonal routes to north European cities “aligned with peak demand and major events” so possibly STN could become winter-only.

I read an article online yesterday (annoyingly didn't save link and now can't find it) about a presentation PLAY execs had given about the airlines future. All their US routes are ending.
There was a route map of the 'new' PLAY, and I remember noticing that both STN and LPL had disappeared. The remaining routes were Med and Canaries plus I think CPH
