I'd stick to pax services if I were you mate. I've been through Luton for the past 10 years or so. They have never had sufficient equipment to sno clear quickly, with the amount of traffic coming through there nowadays, it might be prudent to re-equip I would think instead of using the clapped out rubbish they currently have. And whatever happened to those nice baggage handlers who used to shovel the snow, all re-deployed or now working for other companies so LTN does'nt have the manpower to do the job. Clearing the runway is fine, but what about the taxiways stands and pax footpaths?. Lets see you try and blame that on easy ryan bal monarch.

Luton Airfield operations is currently a joke, nice bloke running it but he does'nt have the experience. Talk to the tower guys/girls and you get a far more realistic estimate for opening, and they don't even work for the airport company, they were sub-contracted to save money, sound familiar?.
