Latest figures for Luton (Jan 05) show:
- 26% increase in movements
- 20% increase in pax
Forecast for the year to December 2005 are that Luton will reach or exceed the 'big one zero' for annual movements and passengers - 10,000,000 passengers and 100,000 movements (less than 3% accounted for by 'light' aircraft and helicopter movements).
Combined with a cash-rich operating company (market capitalisation over £40bn), and a number of operators now "knocking at the door", things look pretty good at the moment!
