Harrods leased extra stands on the south stands to help ease pressure on their aprons but that is set to end in a few weeks time.
Gulfstream have outgrown their Hagar at Luton are are reported to be leaving soon.
Now Luton's is set to ban bizjet movements overnight for the four summer months due to noise issues thus turning Luton into a limited opening hours airport for biz jet movements. With slots tight at other times the biz jet could become an endangered species.
Looks like Stobart's newly opened multi million FBO Jet Centre at SEN could be a good investment.
