You may choose to call my view 'negative', I consider it 'realistic'. I have
been paxing since 1965 and using LTN since 1985. I have lived in this country
long enough to see the way public facilities are dealt with.
I call it negative because you insist "nothing" will happen and everything will be miserable and "stay the same" yet plans are clearly in place for upgrades and changes. Give the new chaps a couple of months at least before you condemn the future golly gosh.
On a general note Luton will have no problem attracting new airlines regardless of how pessimistic people seem to be. The way LGW/LHR expansion is going it will take another 20 years for them to even talk about expanding. With FR embedded at STN scaring everyone from even attempting a move there. Planes have to fly somewhere and LTN is very well located. Now whether that means an "amazing" improvement for the PAX using the airport who knows but as for flights I see no concern for a downturn in LTN's fortune for a good long while.
The cup is half full man its half full..
