I had heard that TBI has suspended the September start date for the construction work to begin on the new immigration hall and more importantly the new pier that will serve the northern and eastern aprons as well as opening up part of the yet unused departure lounge in the new terminal. The new pier would increase the walk on stands at LTN by 70%. One of easyjet’s major complaints at LTN is the lack of walk on stands. Reasons for the possible suspension include TBI running out of money to a possible take over bid.
There is a strong rumour that Luton will be the third A319 base for easyJet, with up to 5 aircraft being added mid-2004, this would be in addition to any growth during winter 2003/4, this coming from the 300's in Switzerland coming back to the UK as "Topswiss" get their A319's.
