Very strange this evening when the East Midlands train I was on this evening, pulled into Luton Airport Parkway, and not seeing the rush of confused passengers with suitcases trying to work out what trains to get on.
Not a single person go on or off the train!

Very good point on the parking fees.
I thought to myself on Thursday that the airport is more than likely making more money in parking fees than in landing fees and the like.
Luton is the most expensive airport l believe for my airline (Monarch) to park at.

It’s not just the station that has taken a hit so has the coach service to London and the towns taxi drivers. First time I have seen no taxi’s in the rank. Guess the drivers have all gone to the Mosque to pray for divine intervention.
Wonder if all the support companies at Luton will survive with no income.

Just seen LTN first departure for days.
Several Thomson aircraft with Canadian Registrations (on lease to SkyService) have come from Prestwick to Luton and 3 have landed in last 45 mins. All again flew no higher than 7500ft. C-GTDH just landed a few mins ago!
PS
Im not usually this sad, watching these websites... We was just seeing how empty the skies were over the UK...

easyJet sent an A319 up from Luton, over the Liverpool area (high level) and back this evening. No doubt to assess the impact of the ash?
