Why no EK DXB-STN-DXB
Hey,

Does anyone know why EK does not fly to/from Stansted Airport? I think it would make a lot of sense.

Slots at Heathrow are rather limited (although somehow EK always manages to grab some) and Stansted is the 4th busiest airport in the UK. It is also much more convienent for people living in the North of London. A daily A330 would definately get filled and maybe even a B772.

Someone on www.airliners.net suggested that EK would fly its A380s there, but I don't think Stansted could handle 380s could they?

Cheers
