Stansted to Barcelona

Ryanair, the world’s most annoying airline, is to introduce a twice daily Stansted to Barcelona (El Prat) service from 1 December 2011 in direct competition with easyJet, long established on the route.  The Irish airline already flies to Girona from Stansted, which it also calls Barcelona, the infuriating renaming practice this time working against the carrier.

London – Barcelona is one of the UK’s most popular air routes, worth 1.3m passengers last year.  It is fiercely competitive with flights offered from all four London airports and Southend joining in next year. 

easyJet has services from Gatwick, Luton and, as mentioned, Stansted, whilst BA/Iberia offers both Heathrow and London City.  Barcelona is also connected to most UK regional airports. www.ryanair.com
