Except it is now true having used both airports in the last month between 6 and 7am. L***n has raised its game although still not great. Expect to see those bad boys overtake Stansted when the next Which passenger survey comes out leaving Stansted in bottom place. Don't get me wrong, STN has great potential but it now seems to be using the Ryanair rule book. Stansted seems to me to be the airport of last resort although that title might well end up at Southend in the next year or two as that place is going down hill fast.

Southend will be improved and sorted out in time.

Yeah I’m sure of all the 28.4 million passengers using Stansted for the last year it is the last resort for all of them.

What makes you say that, dt?

Security staff levels will likely increase at SEN because it's better for the airport financially if pax spend time (and money) in the shops than waiting to go through an arch. Also not great for airport if flights are regularly delayed to find baggage of pax who is waiting in security queue - poor quality flight operational statistics makes it harder to attract new airlines

That's what should happen, but will it?

From The Independent today's date: average delays UK airports.

This is the Press Association from CAA data.

Los Endos 28th May 2019 11:21

Yes, also reported by the BBC:

Airport blames ATC and the weather. Last summer's weather was the best in many years and all other airports were subject to similar ATC capacity delays. Absolutely nothing to do with repeatedly closing the runway due to it's state of disrepair and nothing to to do with long delays due to the airports continued refusal to manage their wheelchair service to passengers then ?

MerchantVenturer 28th May 2019 16:06

It's rather a selective list. It's supposed to be an analysis of '24 leading airports' yet Bristol (9th busiest) and London City (13th busiest) are not included whereas Durham Tees Valley (33rd busiest) is included, with busier airports than MME (such as Prestwick, Norwich, Inverness and Newquay) also missing.

If I remember rightly, there were many thunderstorms floating round Europe last year, which caused a lot of delays. As for the runway being repeatedly closed... not sure how you mustered that one up and Omniserve manage the PRMs, not MAG.

Was the A380 for fans or for the players?

Bit big for players, Arsenal team went from Luton at werkend, Chelsea team favour Farnbourgh but I don't know about that.

Captain_Caveman 28th May 2019 19:00

Chelsea team flew from LGW on a New Zealand registered 767.

interesting fact: the Maleth Aero A340 to Baku today had more customers onboard than the HiFly A380 on the same route !

Thunderstorms are a standard part of summer effecting departures from all airports, not just STN. I mustered the little gem about the runway closure due to holes from the fact that I had to divert twice last summer and again just a few days ago. The runway is falling apart. Omniserve (fail to) manage the PRM service as a monopoly at the behest of MAG. MAG are responsible for the management of their airport and their service providers.

Keanaga 29th May 2019 04:02

Maybe stop whingeing and fly from an alternative airport,for those interested in aircraft movements Wamos 747 wand Enter air 737 to Baku today also shed loads for Madrid Friday n Saturday.

southside bobby 29th May 2019 05:26

Baku certainly producing interesting heavies with the Wamos/PLM B744 possibly providing the largest theoretical single uplift with a published seat config of 529.

Regarding the HFY A380 capacity it has probably not been reconfigured since ops with SIA & therefore not high density.

Coincidently both the HFM/PLM a/c were SIA originally.

Normal ops see nine Jet2 departures up to 9am today with all 3 Titan A321`s in use from STN at the w/end.
