London Stansted
🇬🇧 London · EGSS
Ryanair's London base with easyJet and Jet2 adding to the low-cost focus. Pilots operate efficiently to meet aggressive turnaround times, while the single runway creates similar pressure to Gatwick. Essex fog can close the airport quickly, and the distance from London proper affects crew commuting. Simple but demanding operations.
