Wizzair announced their first route to Stansted today: Katowice daily from the end of May. Should Luton be worried?
Not initially - Wizzair has probably assessed that a proportion of its LTN-originating pax either come from or go to, Stansted's catchment area and so it's just "testing the water". The peak-time slots that Wizzair uses at LTN just aren't currently available at Stansted.
But...longer-term who knows? Two years until road access into and out of LTN is partially improved is a long time in which to p**s off the punters, and all too often, LTN is used by 'start-ups' that either go bust (insufficient space here to list every example since 1990...) or having got going with a knock-down introductory rate at LTN then move either completely or mainly to Stansted, Gatwick, Coventry, etc., etc., as business improves and they're faced with the end of the 'special offer deal' at LTN.
I think that Luton Borough Council should be!
In your dreams - LBC doesn't think, doesn't know, doesn't understand, doesn't...
