Stansted operator moves

GREEK carrier Aegean Airlines will move its London services from Stansted to Heathrow from 25 October, plying the route with a new Airbus A321 aircraft taking advantage of slot availability.  The airline says it is hoped that the move is part of the integration process with Star Alliance which it hopes to complete by June 2010.  Aegean will now fly twice daily from Heathrow, compared with the current three daily flights from Stansted and will be going somewhat upmarket with a full meal service and in-flight entertainment system.  Also making the use of easier Heathrow access for airlines is Aer Lingus who is increasing its Belfast International frequency from four to five return flights per day, again from the beginning of the winter season. www.aegeanair.com
