The LTN-GLA route seems particularly light this winter with just 2 flights per day on some weekdays through the winter months whilst LTN-EDI has at least 3 & sometimes 4 per day. I thought the two main Scottish routes were always pretty good performers so was surprised to see so few flights to GLA?

Lets hope Luton sees the benefit of some of these additional Atlasjet aircraft over time.
How are they doing on the Istanbul route?
Is there still plans to fly direct to Antalya next year and/or any other destinations?

Zante
Great to see Zante added to the route map by Monarch, but took me by surprise when they are showing no signs of Antalya, Bodrum or Corfu being reinstated as operated this year...
I am wondering if we will see future growth for next summer by easyJet focussing on Eastern Mediteranean? Maybe two flights a week to Antalya, Bodrum (picking up these Monarch routes and are flown from STN and LGW by the airline), and some of the Greek islands like Rhodes and Kos which are quite a hole in the major tourist destination route map.
The above routes if flown twice weekly would easily be operated by just one of the three new aircraft that are supposed to be based at the airport from next year and still have spare capacity.

Good to see the easyJet expansion continuing as they promised, all very good route additions that should do well.
Monarch to Zante is a surprise, I wasn't expecting to see new routes from them, more a consolidation of their existing routes next summer. Is their planned based fleet down from 5 to 3 for next summer? That's quite a reduction

Im still surprised there is no Madeira or Dubrovnik from easyJet. Would have thought they were sensible choices given only one flight per week with TOM (on FNC) seasonally.

I'm getting a bit freaked out by some of my route suggestions on this website now...
Bod rum and Antalya are also twice daily as I said last night. I had no insider information either.
Any how great news...
Not including the routes just started, what new routes are starting next spring/summer?
From what I recollect there is:
Copenhagen (Ryanair)
Naples (easyJet)
Hurghada (eastJet)
Rome (easyJet)
Essaoira (easyJet)
Bodrum (easyJet)
Antalya (easyJet)
Skiathos (Thomson)
I'm sure there are a few others...
If AtlasJet were ever to launch an Antalya service, as has long been mentioned, I doubt easyJet entering the market From LTN would be helpful!

Luton is already bottom in the Which passenger survey and with the terminal being carved up for the next 2 years plus another increase in passenger numbers the passenger experience can only go down hill.
I would rather easyjet had waited for the airport to have been upgraded first as some of those passengers will be avoiding Luton after their next visit.
Maybe the airport need to dust off their old marques last used in the 70's
