Perhaps worth remembering that the people who have most to gain by Luton being open and Wizz operating are likely to be either shareholders or are senior management who are often working from a desk at home, neither of which tend to be present very often on flights between Luton and an arbitrary city in E.Europe
Without wishing to demean the appalling sacrifice suffered by millions in WW 1, there does seem to be an element of the generals in their chateau, sending orders to the privates on the front line
I suspect that if senior management of both airport and airlines were regularly spending time in the main departures/arrivals areas and also regularly sitting for 3 hour periods on an A320 holding 179 other pax, then the approach might be different
