LGW is the same I believe. Both are hamstrung by the need for EK to use their LHR slots I suspect. That said, their total operation from the regions will be a shadow of the 2019 operation and will undoubtedly be subject to further reductions and delays.

Correct. For the majority of next year until at least W21, all EK London flying has been consolidated to LHR, leaving LGW and STN without service to DXB until November :(

Terminal Closure
 

The terminal will once again close from 17:00-05:00 from the 6th January. The passenger flight schedule will fall within these hours once again. No date on when the terminal is expected to reopen 24 hours. But I doubt this will happen until early February at the very earliest.

And further info perhaps before the inevitable as previously...

GA & Cargo facilities remain 24hrs.

CAT 7 RFF 24hrs with CAT10 RFF on request.

Yet RYR are selling flights with shedules between the NOTAM date/times terminal closures.

No idea if it will really happen, but SAS are selling their 2x (Mon + Sat) weekly winter seasonal Stansted-Lulea route effective 17-Dec-2021. The route was originally announced in March 2020 for commencement in December 2020

The original CPH flight is now also open for reservation. Commences 31 Oct 2021. Nothing to ARN unfortunately.

SkyUp Airlines 3 weekly KBP/Kiev-STN for 2021.

I thought it wasn’t confirmed which airport they would fly to, it’s not currently loaded on their website.

Terminal Closure Update.
 

Despite social media post from today. MAG have decided to push back the terminal closure to the 11th January.

A good move with Ryanair taken KBP of sale from March.

West Atlantic Operation & further to Post #23...

A Swiftair AT72 operated MAN-STN this evening with a NPT/West Atlantic trip number.The AT72 had previously positioned into MAN from Spain.

Interesting, West Atlantic must have taken the contract for this flight from ASL which has operated this feeder flight from Manchester for years.

Indeed...same route,same a/c,same numbers being flown this evening with very similar timings.

UK Ltd appearing to influence some segments of corporate flying too...

Witness a recently re registered CS- to G- corporate jet of NetJets Europe with corresponding flight prefix change from NJE to NJU flying STN-ABR today.

Might influence some Premier League footie team charters soon, might put more work Jota's way.

Can you explain what you mean? :confused:

If the CAA are putting pressure on operators to run domestic routes on G- aircraft then demand will rise for domestic operators, why else would NetJets bother to setup a G- and the extra cost that would bring?

It's not a case of putting pressue on, it's a licencing requirement. Can't see the impact on Premier League team charters, though as they are virtually all UK anyway - Jota, Eastern, Loganair, etc?

Seems a bit irrelevant, as STN-ABR is a transatlantic route.

SWBKCB

Maybe right, just I have seen the odd foreign sub, but I maybe wrong in that it was not a domestic flight.

AircraftOperations

I suspect Aberdeen was intended destination.

Indeed/duff shorthand...intended = ABZ/Aberdeen.

Jet2/Holidays Summer`22 programme offically published shows STN with 38 destinations & peak Summer total of 175 departures per week.

Looks like Ryanair's routes to Kerry, Kiev and Stockholm-Vasteras have been terminated early
Podgorica, Stockholm-Skavsta, Tallinn and Trieste seem to have their end date brought forward to mid-January, while Plovdiv now ends in mid-February

Kiev...Hopefully taken up as a destination in 2021 by SkyUp Airlines who have received Ukrainian Government permit to fly Kiev-STN 3pw.

Podgorica...Ironically RYR threatened legal action against the state of Montenegro who were seeking to bail out Montenegro Airlines subsequently shutting down.

dj6... Do you post/research any other RYR destination closures from a myriad number of bases other than at the largest STN ?

If you're asking if I do Twitter or have a website, the answer is No, I don't - you'll have to look at SeanM1997 and TheAeroNetwork instead

I live in London - my interest is smaller routes in the south east of the UK and also small airports across Europe. Thin routes to the UK tend to be heavily weighted towards Stansted/Ryanair and Luton/Wizz

Righto...Thanks for posts...

Ryanair seem to be cutting further instead of letting routes continue until late March
Cagliari - already terminated
Perugia, Zaragoza - will now end mid January

On the other hand, Poitiers is reinstated

STN-CAG has just taken off 18.30

Are Air Corsica planning on operating their summer seasonal routes from STN in 2021 ? The Air Corsica website doesn't allow booking of STN flights

Even before the Pandemic CCM/Air Corsica had stated for seasons `21 & onward they would consider ops from STN or a transfer to any other suitable LON terminal.

Inquiry Inspectors rejected calls (by SSE) for a three month deferral because of the Pandemic...

With Norwegian stopping all long haul flights it can’t be good for STN’s chances of gaining JetBlue.

Jetblue might just not bother with TA at all now.

They have confirmed they are just with a delay, flights should start in Q3.

Jet2/Holidays...In addition to the 38 destinations from STN in 2022 recently published Jet2 have announced the reintroduction of a further 5 destinations...Tiviat,Girona,Costa de Almeria,Nice & Malta.

I thought Jet2 had already had operation to GRO, NCE and MLA. Also thought LEI had been operated in the past ? Might be wrong though.

Yes...Guess the key word is "reintroduction".
For Summer 2022 though takes the total number of destinations on offer by EXS from STN to 43.
