And LGW as they previously had flights before covid.
I would be surprised if they didn't have a look at STN.
I know it's only a short summer offering and they maybe are only waiting for slots somewhere else, but it will give a clear signal to other LoCo carriers in that region.
If say flynas or flyadeal launched from a secondary airport to Luton, I think there would be serious questions to be raised at MAG Management.
PS I expected a secondary Egyptain carrier to arrive at Luton next year.
