The airlines are ignoring the Spanish situation and are carrying on regardless despite the government advice not to travel. Passengers definitely have a different mindset when travelling through Luton of virus what virus and so do the airlines and airport authority.

Practices have not changed of calling passengers to the gates even before the aircraft has arrived. Flights are not spread out evenly throughout the day to reduce peaks. Pre boarding waiting areas are still packed out with the overflow backing up on staircases. Remote stands are still being used using overcrowded buses. Boarding is done as quickly as possible.

On arrival back at Luton long queues form for border force and baggage belts share multiple flights while others are empty.

What I see everyday is a scandal of epic proportions of blatant non compliance of any social distancing requirements because it is not possible at Luton. The airlines and the airport like to paint a different picture with their interviews and social media videos but it is all lies.

As for the few passengers with concerns, they have no control of the situations they find themselves in as they are processed through the airport in an unsafe way. The photos of passengers boarding a Wizz flight a few posts back is the final stage of their airport experience where any inhibitions have been removed from their mindset by the very process of getting passengers to the plane.
