Might be good for Wizz and the airport but I can't help but think that this is bad news for the countries unemployed including my son who can't find a job including a job at the airport.
Anyone travelling on the airport staff bus where English is not spoken will know that it is a fact that many people who have lived here a lifetime are being denied employment by airport companies from the new influx of Eastern European workers.

Yahoo....look no further than the recycling tip near the Airport. My experience of helpful Romanian and jobsworth Lutonian when handing in paperwork for dropping off household waste. Many more examples but won't bore you.

Let's cut through this jingoistic, xenophobic nonsense about Wizz Air having better load factors westbound than eastbound.
And let's not go there about them being a bus service for immigrant workers.
All I can say is that as a former Wizz Air Captain of 2 years, is that load factors were just as healthy leaving Luton, as those arriving.
However, there was a very noticeable uplift on departure numbers every second Friday morning from Luton.
As some of us may be aware (anecdotally of course), benefits are paid in the UK every second Thursday.

Good to see TLV is doing so well from LTN. This was always popular in the 80's when the likes of Monarch and MAOF flew down there twice a week. As I recall, MAOF operated 2 aircraft to TLV on a Sunday and it was carnage in the terminal 
Ahhhhh but the B720B's

Now show as EGKK but on a Public Web Site, can't they write in English! I know a google will show you what it means but how much effort to actually write "Gatwick".

So Ocean has planning permission but is it the airport operator or the airport owner that will allow the development. Remember the council plans show Ocean's stands around their hangar being used for terminal based airlines so without these stands the airports capacity will be lower than planned.
Paxing All Over The World
Just started reading LLAOL's document (as linked above) and their opening gambit tends to indicate the foul-ups that have gone before. I quote two items from:
I know the subject crops up regularly but that's because they've never fixed it and I can't see that dualling the road is going to help - because the central roundabout has multiple exits with very tight access. Etcetera.
LLAOL’s main proposals for the future of the Airport are:
- Dualling the road from the Holiday Inn roundabout along Airport Way into the heart of the Airport, the ‘Central Terminal Area’. Not done before when they cut the through road, rather than pay the money to put it in a tunnel.
- Reorganising the internal layout of the terminal building to create a more logical route through the building from check in, through security to passenger waiting lounges and then to the aircraft boarding gates. This will also apply to arriving passengers who will have an easier route from their aircraft through to immigration control, baggage reclaim and then out of the terminal building. Wow! That's innovative. Pity about the past 12 years of illogical routes ...

The tunnel was designed to take a light transit system/ monorail to link the station to the terminal and not for a duel carriageway.
Going back to the Ocean Sky planning permission, is it the landlord or the concessionary operating company that allows Ocean Sky to develop the land?
Ocean Sky has been given notice to vacate the south stands I assume by LLAOL. If London Luton Airport Operations Limited give permission can London Luton Airport Limited say no as the owner of the land? Ocean Sky might well have planning permission but that doesn’t mean they will be allowed to build.

The plan was for the majority of passengers to arrive at the Parkway and have check in facilites there. A rapid transit people mover was planned to link Parkway and the Timinal.
