Given Iceland is open to US vaccinated travellers and Brits it’s probably the best time possible.

Avgeek question, FedEx's N573FE operated in on Monday as FX34, departing later only to fly a circuit to land, anyone advise what the issue was? Seems to still be parked up?

Terminal building reopened fully for 24 hour operations as of yesterday morning at 0500.
Departures end of the terminal will still be closed off overnight between 2300-0300 to passengers, this was standard practice prior to the full overnight closure. Some nights timings might change depending on last and first flight departure times.

Not going to be for a while yet. Only operational essential work will take place. No new projects will begin.
The most recent major project was the completion of the new hold baggage system (HBS) final testing is still in going.

Adding to above... the Stansted £70m four year baggage system revamp has been completed ahead of schedule...speeded up due pandemic.

Congratulations to MAG for staying with the principals/arguments & plans that had previously been approved by UDC...resulting now in heavy costs awarded against the council after rogue elements there defied their own & other expert neutral legal counsel.

Will give RYR/EXS greater confidence in planning base up scaling in the future along with helping new operators plan.

Would imagine this decision will also give hope to those airports looking for future expansion!
