I hope not! When EasyJet started the Copenhagen service it would be a while before Ryanair suddenly wanted to operate the same service from LTN. Whilst the route had generated extremely high passenger levels it was Ryanair who won, but ULTIMATELY it was Luton Airport who lost! Once Ryanair rid EasyJet from the route; Ryanair then greatly reduced their own service at LTN and then VASTLY increased the same service from STN once more. Luton Airports management should be cautious because from my own opinion they have been negligent! Allowing two major low cost airlines to compete on the same routes from LTN does not necessary equate to success.
