Easy Proposed 20 Per Cent Reduction
If my maths is correct this means three aircraft will be removed from the Luton base and probably transfer to continental Europe. That leaves three aircraft stands for more night stop aircraft - It will be interesting to see if Wizz and Ryanair put any more aircraft in to fill the void. It was to my mind at least that when the dreaded APD goes up it will have an effect on the number of passengers flying out of the UK.
If my thinking is correct the flying reduction does not come into effect until the Summer 2010 programme commences at the end of March 2010 so still time to thrash out a compromise. Sorry also to hear about EMA but not surprised there with Ryanair, BMIbaby and now Jet2 all competing. Also at the end of the press statement a reduction in the flying programme by easyJet from other UK airports.
