“We are increasing capacity to London Stansted to meet steady demand from both leisure and business travellers to and from the region, as well as international student traffic to Cambridge. We continuously seek ways to maximise convenience and flexibility for our customers and the second daily flight combined with the optimal travel schedules will do exactly that; provide a seamless travel experience with Emirates,”
Adding capacity to where it’s needed
With slot congestion at London Heathrow an ever-present problem, airlines have been seeking ways to increase coverage in the London are – be it going to Gatwick or Stansted.
Stansted’s location – north east of London – does offer access to London area, as well as Essex and Cambridgeshire – accessing the academic, pharmaceutical and business communities in the area.
For Emirates, it’s extra capacity deployed to possible high-value customers… and that’s where the attractiveness of a second daily services lies – along with the connection opportunities that the catchment area offers.
