Wizz Air to add new Ljubljana flights
Wizz Air: London Stansted - Ljubljana
So, looking at the above links, Wizz are starting a new route between Stansted and Ljubljana, with the aircraft originating from STN and arriving back at the airport at 1am!

Could we be looking at Wizz night stopping or opening a new base down the road and other routes will be announced shortly?!

Wizz have made it very public that they have been extremely happy with their recent expansion from the UK and how new routes are performing. Could be looking at Wizz wanting to expand quicker than Luton can offer them for the London area, and are now having to look at neighbouring airports to allow expansion?!

As has previously been mentioned, the airport is now more or less full with overnight aircraft, now Ryanair have announced their new expansion with 2 more 738's and now is no room left at the LTN Inn!

Looks like Ryanair played their trump cards here, by quickly snatching those last two overnight apron spaces! Makes you wonder if it was more a strategical move, than just wanting to expand at Luton?! I'm sure they would deny that is the case.
