PPop,
There was a series last year, that was only shown on Anglia TV. Is this new, or a repeat? And will it be shown in all TV regions?
Since the purpose of Anglia TV is to fill the gaps between the adverts, I'm not expecting a high-quality offering....

The series made last year was only shown on London ITV and Sky Travel and never made it to Anglia or the regions. This also seems to be on London only although London ITV is available to all via Sky. They were making a second series so I guess this it is.

New airport minutes at http://www.llacc.com/CurrentMeeting.asp which included the following statement about the new check-in desks that were finished last month.
A reference was made to the extra check in desks that are to be constructed at the north end of the terminal building; this will facilitate new technology, accommodate the introduction of home check in facilities and incorporate a quick baggage drop off. Three double checking desks positioned throughout desks 1-60 are to be used as ticketing desks not check in desks.

I take it that with the night time runway closure all the Arsenil charters will use 'other' airports for ferrying their thousands of fans to the Champions League final in Paris?
Edit: I have just found this, most Arsenil supporters must be swimming the channel?

I heard a rumour that, now that Luton Airport is run by a Spanish company, they have banned any charters carrying supporters of teams playing Spanish opponents.
There does appear to be one Jet2 flight to Paris.
It seems unfortunate that most supporters are having to either swim, or fly from that field in deepest Essex. Wet feet or sheer embarrassment, what a choice!!

on a slightly different topic...
what is LTN airport going to do about those massive queues for passport control when flying into LTN??? It is alright to have a larger departures area so you can generate more revenue from it, build a few more gates to increase your capacity, but then happens when these people have to wait for 30 minutes because there are only 2 guys on passport control?
There is a good side in this, as you don’t have to wait too long for your luggage
, but this 30 minutes queue is the last thing you want after a flight!!
Shocking!!!

I see that Arann have ditched Angers for Nantes (from Manchester and Cork), what are Arann marketing folk on?
Liege ditched
Angers ditched
Nantes instead of Angers
If I am confused, how about their prospective punters, what do they make of any Arann press release?

BTW, busiest day for Luton's runway movements this year was last week = 350. By comparison, STN's record so far = 670.

STN did record 677 movements on Thurs thanks to extra football charters in early morning. The reduced runway distance operation during resurfacing work seems to be paying dividends. Hope both LTN and STN benefit from England world cup flights next month. Wonder if any more movement records will be broken.

Following the public consultation, the final Masterplan document was due to be published this month. With only a week to go in May, has anyone heard of an impending news conference to be given by the airport on the subject?. There was certainly considerable national publicity when the draft Masterplan was made public last october. Also, anyone know if there has been any movement on the submission of a Planning App for Part One of the redevelopment, ie for the additional stands etc. In the draft MP, it was talked up that Part One would be completed by the end of 2007. Looks highly unlikely.

Even at the first hurdle dates are being missed. New terminal and runway by 2012? Someone is having a laugh. Phase one complete by 2007? In yer dreams. With daily grid lock at peak times on the airports roads and drop off area there seems to be no hurry in doing anything about it.
