The long term future for Signature and Harrods is not rosy at Luton with the airport always looking to expand its passenger operations over biz jet movements. Issues over parking, slots and now limited hours are all taking their toll.
A quick poke about on the Luton spotters web site does show things down but I don't know about 20%, the CAA stats don't reflect it which is odd. Do remember jets are getting larger, more and more G650s and BD700s (or whatever they are called this week). I remember when H125s and DA20 were the order of the day with a splash of LJ & CL600s.
The spotters web site does show a handful of splash & dashes in the early hours, if SEN does not pick them up then perhaps it was just fuel so London location not so important so hope for Brum or East Midlands who are full 24/7, both also a Signature FBO.
