So will Silverjet move out of Luton?
Who knows? LTN's past performance on retaining these new start-up operators isn't brilliant. But... why would Silverjet abandon LTN for LHR? Although there is some overlap of catchment areas, if a significant proportion of Silverjet's pax originate from north/northwest London or north of LTN, LHR wouldn't be such an attractive option, surely? Agreed, road access to/from LTN with all the ongoing roadworks is appalling at the moment, but at the end of next year, apart from its horrendous Central Terminal Area road layout, surface access to/from LTN should significantly improve.

Maybe Silverjet's market research has shown a sufficient proportion of its pax as orginating from west/central London or west of LHR.

Or perhaps the plan is to operate from both airports?
