Wizzair's planned expansion at LTN is good news indeed for the airport & hopefully it will continue. However, looking at the CAA stats for May, pax numbers actually were down on May 2003 by 3.1% to 598,000. A drop of some 19,000. This is despite the fact that easy started triple daily to Berlin & daily to Budapest. Am I right in thinking this is probably due to Britannia only basing two aircraft at LTN this summer, with other flights now being sub-chartered out to other airlines which were usually covered by the third aircraft. I know Flybe have greatly reduced their summer Jersey ops to a weekly sat 146 as opposed to daily Dash flights plus 2/3 x 146s on a saturday last year.
