If this is true then it’s shocking. A “priority list” of only 9 airports is disgraceful, BRS has flights to NWK for gods sake,

I’ve no doubt the people in nearby CFF will be complaining that the BTL services to NWK should now be moved to them. (IATA codes deliberately made wrong, in line with one or all of the spence_cwl codes in his post!)
Think the reasoning behind STN and not LTN may be something to do with STN being identified as London’s 3rd airport and also the airport that would be used in times of hijacking. But I’m willing to be corrected!

oops! yeh I got EWR wrong but BRS is right! I’m over CWL not getting the EWR route , becuase if reports are to be believed we are close to clinching a direct service to DXB.

Ah.. this could be the reason as Stansted has that long runway for diverted longhaul aircraft. Thanks for the help

This is unbelievable! But if it was devised in the 70’s why is Stansted on it but not Luton? I may be wrong but i thought Luton was originally bigger than Stansted until the rebuild in the 90’s?
