Campaigers welcome loss of American flights
08.06.08
Campaigners fighting the expansion of Stansted have said that the airport's loss of its last flights to New York from next month shows that it is not going to grow as fast or big as it had hoped.
Carol Barbone, campaign director for Stop Stansted Expansion, said the axing by American Airlines of its service - launched just 7 months ago in a blaze of publicity - was a ‘considerable blow’ to the airport's plans to develop in to the long-haul market.
She said: ‘It is now quite clear with the falling passenger numbers Stansted has experienced over the last 6 months that its hopes of creating an airport with the capacity of Heathrow are not going to be realised.'
