Seems the terminal is shut. No problem for Ryanair as it is reported that they are still departing on time minus many of their passengers.

Try to be dealing with the situation put on the airport today and make the same decision.

Suspicious package blown up in controlled explosion. No explosives found. "A man has been arrested in connection with this matter and remains in custody whilst investigations continue."

Of course airlines should continue to fly to schedule if possible.

New route with Ryanair to Orebro in central Sweden, 2x weekly, from late March 2022

Also HiSky 2x weekly to Baia Mare in Romania from 18 Dec, never before served from the UK

Has anyone got the link to the ACL slot requests page for Stansted? I’ve been on their website but can’t seems to find the info on new requests airline & route wise.

Thanks.

It all there just been on ACL !

I’ve just looked and cannot see it either. If there is a link that can be provided it would be appreciated.

Mentions Icelandair to KEF as a new route.

Thanks! Interesting. Also allegedly FR returning to domestic with ABZ (new), EDI, LDY.

A potentially significant new slot allocation is Norse, the reincarnated Norwegian long-haul. They aren’t listed as having slots at Gatwick.

Icelandair I'm sure has featured in the report numerous times but never materialises.

I think we can also forget both Tunisair and Corendon who I believe have both gone to Gatwick.

The most interesting there is Norse, from my calculations that equates to about 7 slot pairs per day. I'd be very surprised if they can't get into Gatwick.

Another to watch out for is Fly Pop who appear to have two A330's panted in their livery, but are yet to go on sale or have any slots.

Haven't FlyPop started AdHoc charter cargo ops with their 330s?

Thought they were leased to Hi-fly?

As they are 9H- registered I can't work out who actually owns the aircraft, definitely not starting Pax ops from STN for a while.

New route with FR to Växjö in south east Sweden, and resumption of route to Maastricht for late March 2022

Funchal & Mahon too.

AMS cancelled?
 

Something else I've noticed, EZY's AMS service is showing as being cancelled. If this materialises, not only will this leave STN without a service to Amsterdam, but also marks the withdrawal of EZY's last international route from here. AMS has historically been served from STN with KLM UK and Easyjet, so would be a shame to lose it and the end of an era. Does anyone reckon KLM would re-enter STN if EZY do go ahead and pull out? I know FR have been expanding into more of the 'primary' airports in recent years, however, with high landing fees and slot restrictions, I'm not sure whether they'd step in?

AMS service with EZY will stop on June 27th till the 4th of September and come back with 2 daily flights
