Stansted
 

IS there a Stansted forum about? I cant find it if there is!

There has been in the past, I'm sure dunno where it has gone tho???
Anyhow, with new routes launched by FR from Liverpool, should imagine we'll see ABZ & INV with these guys to follow. Any chance of any new routes with anyone else??? I guess LPL-STN would be a good choice for FR too!

Any info on Maxjet MXY 201 STN-IAD today, scheduled Dep. STN-IAD at 14.00?
& tomorrow MY 200 IAD-STN due 04.00?

What gates to FR depart from on thier International Flights from STN?

I have only ever flown with them from STN to PIK, so I am used to walking to the gate, will I need to take the shuttle train to get to the Gates when I travel to Hamburg LBC next week?

FR
 

No FR flights use the shuttle train.

crews have to walk so YOU have to walk.this IS ryanair!!!!!!!

do ryanair flights not go from gates 20-39 anymore?

Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong
Many FR flights use gates 20-39, which is the second stop on the transit train, always check gate numbers, seasoned travellers through STN this Summer could be caught out, many regular Air Berlin travellers assume that they depart in Satelite 1, gates 1-19, and blindly go there without thinking.
This could all change as the Summer progresses, so check check and check again, it is not easy to get from 1 satelite to the other if you are in the wrong place.

Thanks folks, I haven't used trhe shuttle train before, so I'll keep an eye out and make sure I know where to go.

Maxjet looking to increase their fleet to 4 767, considering a BOS-STN route possibly starting as early as June 2006.

i wouldnt like to speculate. Perhaps theyll let the IAD settle in first! its a young airline!

Most of Ryanairs international flights depart from Sat 3 @ STN (gates 40-59) which means a 10 min walk from check-in.
Gates 40-50 are in Sat 3 itself whilst 51-59 are in the lower level (FCF) at the very end of Sat 3.

The other international flights (FR) depart from Sat 2 which is the 2nd stop on the train. This takes you to the upper level of Sat 2.... the lower level being domestic.

Carpatair to Timisoara has been postponed a year apparently.

Anybody know of anymore routes to expect from stansted any new airlines?

New Airlines
 

Already started is Atlas Jet (KK) with a once weekly service to Istanbul.
Starting on 27/5 is Atlantic Expresss (AAG) with a 14 per week service to Jersey.

Service is twice weekly, Wednesday and Sunday.

Blue1 started twice daily services to Helsinki about 3 weeks ago too.

There will be some established airlines starting services from STN this Summer.

Such as who?!

Maybe (hastalueGo) is speaking of the summer charters: i.e. XLA, NCD, KM, & still being listed FLT.

And don't forget PIA (as this is a rumours forum!)

How about any estabilished scheduled airlines?

how about air india and kenya airways heard about these last couple of days ?

I think its going to Zambia. And also PIA are pretty much confirmed! No return fromt he likes of SAS and KLM then? Perhaps flybe?!

What's all this about?

"Ryanair sincerely apologises on behalf of the British Airports Authority (BAA) for the below flight cancellations which have been caused as a result of the closure of London Stansted Airport last night and the resulting flight diversions due to the failure of Stansted Airports runway lighting."

yer! nothing on the easyJet website - another coverup by ryanair????

On the easyJet website (also on the BAA Stansted website) there are a number of delays listed.

There is no reason given though.

Aparently was a problem or maintanance going on with the ILS. Lots of diverts to EMA and LGW both Ryanair and Easy. Can't say about other airports thats all I know. Certantly was an interesting night at EMA from what I saw with a/c on DHL and UPS cargo ramps!

Ryanairs @ BHX
 

7 Ryanairs diverted to BHX last night.

Stansted is only CAT 1 for the summer due to runway resurfacing work. I did hear it was a bit foggy there last night. Luton also took some diversions from Stansted.

From memory I understood both STN and LTN ILS still Cat 111 operational but due to the reduced runway lightning (reduced/no centerline lighting) and depending on the operators procedures a/c may be restricted the Cat 11/1 during daylight/night hours. As I said read the notam a while back so may be wrong.
Cheers Bondy

Runway restrictions didn't help, believe visibility was around 150m which I think is the main reason ours diverted to EMA. Fortunately it's only one a/c into STN of a morning, otherwise I imagine it would've been a bit more of a hairy situation at EMA.

2 RYR @ EMA and RYR blaming the BAA on their web site, around 20-30 flights cancelled

Pleeeeeeeze people c'mon,PIA have been 'confirmed' for the last 2/3 years.They're due to land on the second runway,lol!!!!!
:ok:

FLT
 

Further to my post a while back, ref. FLT listed to operate STN charters.
FLT are to lease 2 MD83's: OELHE from 12/05/06 to 06/11/06
OELHG from 02/06/06 to 06/11/06

What Zambia flights are you referring to??

Sorry if its already been asked but what is all this about flights to Zambia and also PIA starting from Stansted? Any more news?

BAA Aims To Open Stansted Runway By 2013
 

12 May 2006
British airport operator BAA on Monday said it still hoped to complete a second runway at Stansted Airport northeast of London by 2013 although it was budgeting for a two year delay in the project.

In documents outlining BAA's spending plans released last week, BAA said its forecasts assumed an opening date of 2014/15 for the GBP£4 billion (USD$7.43 billion) project, two years later than the previous target.

However, a BAA spokesman said it was still hopeful of a 2013 opening date for the runway and the targets had not changed.

"We just took a more cautious view of the possible opening times," the spokesman said.

BAA warned a year ago the runway's earliest completion date was 2013, and that was a "challenging target". The government had previously said it expected the runway to open in 2011-2012.

The government has backed plans for the second runway at Stansted as part of a 30 year strategy to cope with soaring demand for air travel, particularly in England's crowded south-east.

The new runway is strongly opposed by airlines, local residents and environmental groups.

airlines???? surely not

The airlines are unhappy about the level of investment required by BAA at Stansted (£4bn), that they will end up paying for.

Unsurprisingly, they view the Luton proposals (runway + terminal + infrastructure) at £1.5bn as a better option.

thanks for that :ok:
