London Stansted Airport 向來是LCC 大本營. 如今也開始逐漸得到一些傳統航空公司
的垂青在這起降.
現在從STN 飛北美的有
Toronto: Flyglobespan
JFK: AA, EOS, Maxjet
Washington (IAD): Maxjet
Las Vegas (LAS): Maxjet
Los Angeles (LAX): Maxjet
其他則都是在歐洲中東等航點.
現在已經開始有點嗅到美歐之間為因應既然到來的開放天空而競爭白熱化.
CO 好像屆時也要增加進駐 London Heathrow (現只在Gatwick).
BA 聽說屆時也要飛 布魯塞爾到JFK 之間航線.
總之, 各家都準備開戰了‧哈, 這應該是消費者樂於見到的‧

American Airlines Launches New Flights From New York JFK To London Stansted
New Route Offers More Choices For Customers
NEW YORK – On Sunday, American Airlines, the world’s largest airline and a
founding member of the global oneworld R alliance, will inaugurate its new
nonstop service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport
(JFK) and London’s Stansted Airport (STN). The flight will be the only
transatlantic service between New York and Stansted to offer both Business
and Economy class seats.
In April 2008, American will add a second daily frequency giving passengers
the choice of an early or late evening departure from New York to Stansted
and a morning or late afternoon departure from Stansted to New York.
The new flights will operate using a Boeing 767-300 aircraft with 225 seats,
including 30 Business Class seats and 195 seats in the Economy cabin. The
flights feature American’s new Business Class seats, designed to give
customers more comfort, flexibility and privacy. The fully motorized lie-flat
seats, in a 2-2-2 configuration, offer a personal inflight entertainment
device with audio and video on demand, state-of-the-art cabin lighting, and
sleek, ergonomically-designed overhead bins to enhance the travel experience
for the business customer.
“American continues to invest in the customer experience,” said Chuck
Imhof, American’s Vice President – Passenger Services for Greater New York.
“Customers flying from our new, state-of-the-art JFK terminal to Stansted
will not only enjoy excellent service in the air, but a smooth travel
experience on the ground at both JFK and Stansted.
“While we initiated JFK-Stansted service because our business customers
asked for it, the route also has strong appeal for leisure travelers, with
many attractions in East London and the adjoining countryside, as well as the
opportunity to connect to large numbers of flights within the UK and the rest
of Europe.
American dedicated the final phase of its new $1.3 billion terminal at New
York JFK airport at the end of August. With capacity for 12.8 million
passengers every year and with more than 1.58 million square feet, the new
terminal offers the industry’s premier international arrival and departure
facilities, including two new Admirals Clubs and a new Flagship Lounge. From
JFK, passengers can conveniently connect to more than 40 destinations across
the Americas and the Caribbean on American’s extensive network.
At Stansted, American is set to begin the construction of the American
Airlines Business Lounge in Satellite Two. Scheduled for completion in Spring
2008 with seating capacity for 48 people, the lounge will feature amenities
including a self-service bar, cyber cafe, wireless and wired Internet access,
restrooms, and two shower rooms. Passengers will be able to board their
flights directly from the Business Lounge.
Just 46 minutes from Liverpool Street in central London by the fast and
frequent Stansted Express rail service, Stansted airport has become
increasingly popular with business travelers based in, or traveling to, the
City of London or Canary Wharf areas.
