They must have landed longer than usual as in the 4+ years or so I've operated out of Luton, I only ever once saw someone miss the normal turn off for either end of the runway, and that was a biz jet . . .
I'm interested to hear you say that, Akrapovic. I am not a professional pilot, nor do I fly into Luton nearly enough to comment, but on the occasions I have landed there in a B737 and A320, I don't remember doing a 180 turn on the runway. It certainly felt like there was a 'brake harder!' moment on the landing roll, but I suppose you often do that to try to make an exit.

And just in case there is any potential to misunderstand my comments: I am not criticising the pilots. I am just curious.

Thanks for the replies.
