*Vietnam A/L. The airport is actively talking to this carrier*
I understand the local UK management are OK with LGW but the head office only want LHR

*Luxair has shown interest in operating a twice-daily Luxembourg service.
I can't see it, there current route to London is to LCY and it is heavily populated by city workers for the banks, why move

*Air Asia X & the airport are currently exploring the possibility of moving the current Stansted service to Gatwick.
I believe this requires the UK/Malaysia bilateral to be renegotiated but I might be wrong.

As for AB, I think its a given that the operation will all move over in time, like NAX did. I suspect they are just attempting to get suitable slots for their flights, are the ones that are left at STN not peak times, with the exception of like a midday Munster?
I very much doubt it, the passenger flows between FMO and PAD are to a location to the north east of london, and they have a very big corporate client that I believe would be upset with a move of these services to LGW.
