Luton, you want to hope that BAA find a way to keep a hold of STN because its the only way you will keep growing.
This is just nonsense, BAA is not the only reason STN is becoming what it is. How many endless numbers of European airlines do you think are going to flock to STN to compete with the Ryanair beast thats lurking? Add to that how expensive and time consuming to travel to STN is and LTN's catchment area being vast enough to draw in alot of people who are nowhere near STN.

I don't enjoy the whole "football team" style "we are better" "you are worse" debate but realisticly things are going well for LTN and should get better. With investment in the right places it should continue it's success. STN seems to be facing quite a few issues that have zero relation to LTN or BAA.

Worry more about that 5 star future Emirates A380 hub in "sowfend" (I kid of course).

Mikki I'm sure you speak on behalf of STN airport, It's always good to lose an airline and a route?
