No world cup charters this year keeping figures down but on the other hand easyjet cancelled many flights last year due to a lack of crews. Even so passenger figures were around the 937,000 mark, which is up by over 6%.
Executive jet movements for June were up around 13% thus reducing the average passenger load per aircraft.

CAA figures state 79292 movements a year which equates to just 217 movements a day yet the actually daily rate now passes 400 a day.

Luton could well pass a million passengers in a calendar month this July or August.

Despite the ever increasing numbers and the ever-lengthening queues to get to the drop off area, which at 14.15 yesterday started at the Vauxhall roundabout, still nothing is being done to improve the CTA. If the queues were just another 30m long it would have blocked the A505 again.
