It did at the time when the decision to build the DART was made. Ideas date back as far as 2007 before approval in 2016.
Wizzair UK was only launched in 2017 and around that time only 2 Wizzair Europe would overnight.
Fast forward today I think TUI would want to base more at Luton but they have lost/sold the slots.
An opportunity arose in 2017 to grab Monarch slots but usual German way, they lost out being reactive.
