Stansted Airport Chamber of Commerce

Eos was a popular award-winning airline with one of the strongest reputations in the business for service and punctuality. Which makes the news that the airline has ceased trading all the more disappointing.

That Eos has fallen victim to the current global economic situation is not blunting the huge efforts we are putting in at Stansted to attract other long-haul carriers; and make no mistake, there is a great deal of enthusiasm from a number of airlines to come here.

In the tough market conditions of today, the high cost of launching, maintaining and growing long-haul services is a challenge for any enterprising airline business, but Stansted is perfectly equipped to support and serve long-haul carriers – as we have already proved.

Growing our route network in this way is exactly what our business and leisure travellers want too, and we are out there working hard to secure the place of Stansted as the East of England’s international airport of choice.

Meanwhile, daily return services between Stansted and New York, operated by American Airlines the world’s largest carrier, are soon to increase to twice daily – something we see as a big vote of confidence in Stansted.
