Remember Flyr, SkyUp and Sky Express asked for new slots and Wizzair, Easyjet, Ryanair, Blue Air and even TUI wanted more.
pabely, Wizz has 45% of Luton traffic. In addition LTN was and possibly still remains it’s number 1 airport in terms of passenger levels and in addition number 1 for profits. I personally think with 3 major airlines duplicating many routes at LGW something has to give, or profits will be lower as they all try to undercut each other. Wizz will never give up its dominance at LTN.
