U.K. Association against cancelation of routeLondon Stansted-Asturias
Who we are:
Back in May'18, out of the blue, a few long term Asturian emigrants based in the U.K. discussed about this issue. Today, more than 14.6K people all around Europe support us.
We demand the
Asturian Regional Government
to immediately act in order to
facilitate the restoration of the 14 years operating route
Asturias-London Stansted.
We demand that all the public tenders and contracts that the Regional Government is about to sign and/or launch enhance and promote free and fare competition
and not the contrary.
We speak out against the existent IAG Group monopoly operating the routes Asturias-Madrid, Asturias-Barcelona and from October'18, when
EasyJet stops operating its flights to Stansted, Asturias-London.
Why London Stansted: Facts
We do not demand a London Stansted - Asturias connection on a whim or because of private interest.
Our demand is based on objective, real and compeling facts, such as occupancy rates.
Asturias, its people, Asturian SMEs, Asturian emigrants (in U.K. and all around Europe) and all the foreign businesses and tourists that have established all kind of bonds and bridges with Asturias during the last 14 years, we ALL can not be deprived of this route.
Londres Stansted allow us to connect with more than 185 low cost international destinations both, in Europe and worldwide.
Crucially, we will not be able to do it from October 2018, but the Asturian Government
can and must do everything in its power to resolve this important matter and restore the London Stansted- Asturias route.
