...all the growth will come from Ryanair
Correct! And Ryanair has stated it's aim is to put 2M passengers through Luton by the end of the 05/06 financial year.
Rolling total to the end of December was 7.4 million so if Ryanair achieves this target, that's 9.4 million. The big question is whether Luton is able to attract any of the operators which it's alledgedly speaking to. With peak-time slots and parking at Stansted being in short supply, seems quite likely that Luton could pick up some additional non-easyJet, non-Ryanair, non-Wizz business although whether this would amount to just over half a million annual passengers very much remains to be seen.
However, IF the three additional aircraft and extra routes that Ryanair are SUPPOSEDLY bringing to Luton from September 2005 materialise, guess that additional 0.5 million could be achieved....??
