Intersection Departures
I have seen A300'S, 767-300'S and 777's depart from intersections.
Once the new extended taxiways are built and connected to the 'close' ends of each runway then I am sure more movements can be accommodated per hour.
Just six extra movements per hour could generate an extra 2.5 MPPA.
By the year end 15.2 million passengers will have used the airport. With approximately 6% growth each year until 2020 the airport will have met it's intended growth, until the next phase comes in.
I personally would like to see Luton reach 25 million passengers per year and believe it is possible once the infrastructure is put in place and we are considerate of our neighbors in other towns close to the airport.
