BAA Stansted doubling of airport charges since April 07 have caused traffic declines at Stansted for the first time in 15 years. The current service provided by the BAA at Stansted is nothing short of appalling. Many of the 17 security machines are regularly unmanned during peak morning periods, and understaffing at passport control continues to cause long queues and frequent passenger delays. We continue to press for the break up of the BAA airport monopoly which provides abject facilities, a third rate service and charges extortionate prices, particularly at Stansted. This winter we will sit 7 of our 40 Stansted based aircraft on the ground because Stansted's higher airport charges make it more profitable to ground these aircraft during the winter rather than fly them. From here The last sentence is interesting - not really sure how it can be more profitable to ground aircraft then fly them. If ryanair dislike BAA and Stansted so much, then why not move to Luton? The airline does have a point - the queues for security at arrivals in Stansted are horrendous - we had to wait for at least 30 minutes-an hour at 11pm to get through.

I am presuming it will cost less to take the air craft out of service than landing and handling fees for keeping them operational. Ryanair glorified bus service is a monster, it slashes costs and kills the competition, and will kill it's self, it's failed attempt to take over Aer Lingus is proof of this, as it is their intent to operate EI as upmarket airline... Sorry, I'm in a mood today...
