A380 Emirates Express Stansted - Australia

[jack_essex]

In the latest issue of Stansted Life the front page is of plans to fly from Stansted to Australia for £300. Although these are only plans, it is said that the airline Emirates Express will fly converted A380 aircraft to accomodate 750 to 800 economy passengers. There will be no catering and passengers will have to bring their own food and drink. Emirates will not launch this project in the short term because it wants to stay a full service airline as it is too 'busy elsewhere'.

It also mentions plans to start flights from STN o Bermuda, China, India and more destinations in the United States.

bring their own food and drink So if you turn up with 30KG of food will they let you on, bear in mind you'll have to eat it all before entering down under.

This is a joke right.:eek:

Has sucess and profit written all over the proposal. A few raised eyebrows at opposition headquarters?

BAA searching for carriers to fill its new terminal and runway? Well, they are hoping that both will be constructed!

Catering will be frozen TV dinners, which passengers will heat up in passenger-use microwave ovens.
