It would seem that Aer Arran are increasing flights into LTN from both GWY & WAT, to three a day, on a Sun, Mon & Fri, starting on 25 June. Twice daily on other days.
A daily, early morning dep to LTN, at 0715, from WAT, will be possible from May.

Well, at least until the end of Oct the Luton-Katowice continues twice daily, with early morning & evening departures. The STN flights are in the middle of the day.
As to what happens from the start of the winter schedule who knows, but I would be very surprised to see Wizz up sticks & decamp totally to STN, especially as ryanair have made it well known of their intention to exploit Poland and the surrounding areas, which will no doubt happen ex STN.

Think they are trying to stem the growth of FR from STN, rather than moving from LTN. Might be a good move -both EZY/FR have bases at both and Centralwings fly to LGW and STN

Stn - Ktw
Well Ryanair are also probably going to launch Stansted to Katowice in 2007 so it will be interesting to see how Wizz survive on the route...

Ryanair, which estimates to have captured 26% of the low-cost market in Poland last year, currently operates from eight airports but plans to begin flights from Warsaw and is negotiating with Katowice airport to begin operations there, too.

Wizzair announced their first route to Stansted today: Katowice daily from the end of May. Should Luton be worried?
But...longer-term who knows? Two years until road access into and out of LTN is partially improved is a long time in which to p**s off the punters, and all too often, LTN is used by 'start-ups' that either go bust (insufficient space here to list every example since 1990...) or having got going with a knock-down introductory rate at LTN then move either completely or mainly to Stansted, Gatwick, Coventry, etc., etc., as business improves and they're faced with the end of the 'special offer deal' at LTN.
I think that Luton Borough Council should be!

Wizzair
I think what is going on here is Wizzair are sending polite message to LTN airport management. Perhaps they are negotiating lowering costs at LTN with a view to expansion at the airport? Any thoughts on that ?
They are crazy going over to STN , Ryanair will respond more than likely.
It will be nice to see another operator @ STN in any case!

Maybe this is LBC's cunning plan, to seriously go 'green' and turn the airport back into allotments, then they could levy a £1.43 charge for every carrot seed planted and a fresh one pulled from the ground? In line with the Borough Council's current thinking, cabbages would be 'tax free'!

This was taken in 1966
It'll be interesting to see what happens at LTN if the LibDems get control of the Council in the May elections. After all, their national policy appears to be that air travel should cease and everyone should holiday by bicycle. However, the local LibDems do at least realise that there's more money to be made in aeroplane passengers than in cyclists. Should make for some interesting local politics - and goodness knows, Luton could do with something interesting.
Are Silverjet 767s now gracing the tarmc daily?
Then there's the nightmare drive into and out of the Airport, not to mention the M1 widening works both of which can just as easily shaft you in a Roller or Merc as in a Fiesta or Kar.
