Monarch Airlines' managing director Tim Jeans has condemned Luton airport for charging high aircraft parking fees, but failing to develop its potential.
Monarch’s managing director said the airline was charged £7,000 a day for every aircraft parked at the airport for more than 48 hours, compared with £1,000 at Manchester.
Parking up two 767's at Luton for more than a few days would cripple any airline in parking fees. £7000 x 2 Silverjet aircraft x 7 days = £98,000 per week. RIP Silverjet, you brought excitement and vision to the airport. You will be missed.
