BAA Stansted's response to Ryanair's announcement about capacity cuts
Last winter Ryanair reduced its aircraft fleet here to 28, this year it will be 24. It is common practice for them to reduce frequency to various destinations during the winter season as they have done in previous years. We have factored this potential outcome into our latest passenger forecasts. However, it should be noted that Ryanair recently announced it will launch a new service to Olso from Stansted this October.

 

"Ryanair are one of the most profitable airlines in the world and the success of their base here, where they have invested millions in new facilities, has helped them become as successful as they are today.

"Stansted has been good for Ryanair and in turn, Ryanair has been good for Stansted flying nearly five million passengers to destinations across Europe in 2008. We look forward to continuing this successful relationship for many years to come."
