The figures for the airport are very good for the financial year. In order to beat the best figure of 10,180,734 the airport needs to generate 566,312 passengers extra this year or on average 12 extra flights a day. I hope this can be achieved.
Dannyboy, why the Comet panders to residents of Flamstead is beyond me but hey! I do my bit at least to counter act the likes of LADICAN and HALE.
It is ironic that I live in South Luton where I hear every departure or arrival and even taxying-irrelevant of what runway is in use, yet they hear just some and most certainly not all flights. I wonder if the airport should consider changing the departure route slightly or spread departure routes so that occasionly some departures turn right after take off and not left? I have seen about 12 departures take off over the town centre over the years.
