With Atlasjet now tapping into the vast Turkish communities in Luton's catchment area, both carriers have developed operations which have a great chance of long term success.
Hopefully other carriers will follow suit, perhaps targeting other communities within the catchment, including Pakistani and Indian?
Guaranteed not to see AI at LTN (and please no one mention "hats" and "eating").
I think flights to India and Pakistan are far less likely. These destinations are true long haul destinations with prices and flight times to match. These two communities are, as a whole, far less affluent than the Jewish community and they'll also be facing stiff competition from the Gulf carriers and others. Visa limitations mean there'll be minimal traffic in the other direction.
Agreed, but don't forget the affluent Indian community in and around Finchley (albeit not big enough for dedicated LTN flights).
As far as flights to/from India and Pakistan, LHR has that market sown up.
LTN-TLV really is a unique route. In fact it's such a perfect match I'm amazed it took until 2009 to be "discovered".
Yes! it's so obvious.
