STANSTED COLLAPSES AGAIN


Ryanair, the UK?s largest passenger airline, this evening (Tuesday, 12th
September 2006) confirmed that unfortunately Stansted has been paralysed
again tonight.

This evening just 8 out of 14 security points are open due to BAA?s
inability to staff them.

It is now over four weeks since Ryanair called on the Government to provide
support for BAA?s hard-pressed front-line staff by bringing in the police
or army while their new ?pointless? and ?nonsensical? measures remain in
place.

Over this four-week period NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. The Government refuses
to recognise the inability of the BAA to staff these security points.

Here is what we called for over four weeks ago:

If the Government wants to double the number of security checks, why won?t
they send in extra army or police personnel to help carry out these checks?
Why is the Government allowing large briefcases to be carried on board as
?safe?, but ruling that the normal size carry on case is still unsafe? This
rule is nonsensical.
If liquids, cosmetics and passenger luggage is really a threat to passenger
safety, why is the Government still allowing these items to be carried on
the London Underground and on Eurotunnel?
Tonight?s debacle demonstrations once again, that the current regime is
unsustainable and it is now time for the BAA to face reality, and demand
the assistance from the UK Government, along with an urgent return to
normal IATA safety standard operations.

I have an idea, charge the airlines more simple as that. The pax will
then be charged. If you want more folk at the security gates then
someone will have
to pay their wages. MOL will shout his mouth off if BAA increase the
security charge in order to make sure the 14 gates are open. Ryanair
want EVERYTHING for nothing its as simple as that.

They are not even a UK airline, they are from Ireland, they should
have no say what so ever in the operations of UK security measures. If
he does not like it then leave. If your operating your business in
this country then you go by the LAWs within this country.

Ryanair get away with murder at times with the way they treat pax and
the attitude that the CEO has, maybe the UK Gov and BAA should just
tell him the same thing.
