Luton would need an increase of 24% compared to last August to pass the 1,000,000 barrier. The July increase was 21.7% with the trend of a slowly dropping percentage increase each month since the peak of around 33%, which occurred around March. My guess is that we will have to wait to around June or July 2006. Of course I could be completely wrong.
Runway questions
1/ If Gatwick can achieve 30million passengers on one runway why does LTN need two seeing that Luton are becoming experts in keeping costs down.
2/ Why does Luton need a 3000m runway which is still not long enough for fully loaded 747's and not needed by easyjet or Ryanair type operators?
3/ Would the extra length be cost effective in generating extra business compared to LTN’s 2160m existing runway?
4/ Apart for a few cargo flights how many Stansted's movements could not use LTN's existing runway ?
