STN406

Im pretty sure that the destinations were pulled for Summer 21 due to low booking numbers/uncertainty, but are now being reintroduced for Summer 22.

Oh sorry I must have miss read your post.

No worries...we have to "box clever" I guess with many of these airline releases particularly featuring programming 15 months ahead but hopefully brought back to life from the mess of previous canx/abandoned plans due the Pandemic.

Current overnight terminal closures extended until Friday 26th March

It will be longer than that I’m pretty certain. Not that it means much under the circumstances but I think STN could plummet down the passenger league this year. It was frequently #2 for movements and pax in Lockdown 1 and beyond but this time round most days it’s behind LGW and LTN, plus MAN and others.

Not so sure of the above correlation & semantics...

However...for what it`s worth= not so much in these terrible times for the nation.

No, it's not. See here: https://www.eurocontrol.int/Economic...on-States.html

Good source & great info...knew I wasn`t dreaming...

Referring to a different source MAN arrivals on Thursday were in totality 29...of which 3 were cargo/4 were corporate with that total also including 2 military helicopters & at least 1 positioning flight.

A non-scientific observation at STN in recent days does however appear to indicate further RYR reductions apart from the continuous test circuits being flown.

Stansted certainly isn't behind Gatwick in terms of commercial movements and isn't likely to be for a while. Gatwick handling single figure numbers of arriving passenger flights on most days next week. Of course Stansted's movements are boosted by freight and business jets, but roughly 3 times more movements than Gatwick at the moment (excluding positioning and circular flights at both).

To be fair I did clearly say passenger league. I’m well aware of freight and other movements.

Given the parlous state of the industry is this really a discussion to be semantically furthered at this time one may wonder.

Jet2
 

Jet2 to add twice weekly ATH from next April 2022.

Good news with ATH...now for a total of 44 Jet2 destinations from STN Summer`22.

Interestingly also received leafleting locally with the post yesterday for STN Jet2 Summer`21 showing 39 destinations.

Seems the public can cut through the fence at Stansted and run amok airside and no offence was committed.

'Stansted 15' win appeal against conviction for deportation flight protest https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-55859455

An offence was committed... just not the offence prosecutors chose to claim had taken place. If prosecutors chose a less serious offence, they may well have gained a conviction

They were convicted of the intentional disruption of services at an aerodrome. Were they just there for a picnic and a bit of plane spotting? Probably did not think about the effects on an international airport, of cutting their way in and entering the manoeuvring area would have? What now, a fine and a 'don't do it again?'

Some positive news subject to the usual Covid caveats of course

They can’t. They were charged as terrorists which was not correct.
