Stansted expects busy weekend
10.02.10
The coming weekend is expected to be a busy one at Stansted as couples set off on breaks for Valentine's Day and schools break up for half term. Thousands of people are expected to embark on romantic breaks from the airport, with the Italian cities of Rome, Venice and Verona set to prove popular.
Stansted also revealed that it is anticipating higher passenger numbers on its ski routes, including easyJet's flights to Geneva and Lyon, as families take a winter sports getaway. Those looking for some sun will be making use of services such as Cyprus Airways' links to Larnaca and Paphos.
Mark Souter, head of airline relations at Stansted, said: 'For the undecided, with over 140 destinations across 32 countries to choose from, it's just a matter of deciding where to take your valentine or family from Stansted this weekend. Ten new destinations have already been announced for our route network this summer, so you could always surprise them with a treat later in the year.'
