Cheers growing quite steadily

And they keep coming
 

Another route from BA

London Stansted – Skiathos 26JUN17 – 06SEP17 3 weekly Embraer E190

BA2225 STN0710 – 1230JSI E90 123
BA2224 JSI1315 – 1455STN E90 123

Reported by routes online

These are London City flight times and flight numbers!!!

Maybe an error by routes online then

It does seem odd that BA should send an E90 to STN on three weekday mornings for a single flight.
More likely this is actually an LCY flight.

EZY appear to have gaps in their peak summer schedule. Anything new to be announced??

Another welcome addition though not all that surprising

Good to see yet another airline on the scene... Getting quite a reasonable mix of carriers operating from STN now :D

Good to see modest growth from FR. With just a 4% rise in capacity this year, FR's share of the traffic at STN will fall quite noticeably for the first time in a fair number of years.

Pretty sure we taxied past a private 787 today in STN parked near the Ryanair hanger. I think it might have had a Saudi flag on the back but wondered if anyone knew what it was? It was dark and pretty rainy so hard to tell for sure but I'm sure someone will know!

UAE Governmental flight regular operator into STN.

It Should be the B787-8 Presidential Flight Authority of Abu Dhabi.

I'm guessing the above are just the school 6 week holiday dates? Or are we to see a full summer schedule?

Yes it's just the usual dates and only 1 a/c as it stands at the moment, though seem to recall it was released like this the last two years.

There are more flights to be released soon. What is on sale for all bases is not the finished product by any stretch of the imagination.

Do we know if Thomson/TUI are operating long-haul Summer 18? It looks like the Cancun has been dropped Winter 17/18.

Wasn't Cancun replaced by Montego Bay?

No. Cancun operates weekly along with the Montego Bay. Montego Bay sort of replaces the Orlando which now only operates April and a couple of dates in August as far as I'm aware. So this summer there is a very small increase in TOM long-haul however come November there appears to be nothing.
