The airline says the change has been made as a result of customer demand. “Eos business travellers have voiced their preference for an evening flight leaving London Stansted to better meet their challenging travel needs. The evening London Stansted departure became possible only because Eos was able to accelerate the launch of its third aircraft, originally slated for January,” it says.

Eos has faced tough competition on the route from Maxjet, which launched all-business services between the same two airports on November 1. Fares on Maxjet, whose daily service leaves Stansted at 10am, start at just over £850 return including taxes compared to £2,500 return on Eos.
