ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES
Just noticed that some bright spark has decided to change the arrivals/departures board from the city to the name of the actual airport! OK for us in the know but for the vast majority of travelling passengers errrh! We all know that most UK travellers going on holiday decide for some unknown reason to leave their brains at the departure airport but this is going a bit too far.

Not every day you get the chance to learn them all for the local pub quiz!!
The airports Facebook page does say they think they have the smartest and insightful crowd on Facebook!!
Shall we start a sweepstake on how long before they are changed back?

Just in case you thought I was involved, I can confirm that I am okay and very well!

Ocean Sky's new apron is still being dug out. Photo taken on what was the flying club and its car park
Photo taken from what was the old green Metro hangar with the old Autair hangar next door.
Ocean Sky's new passenger lounge is getting a canopy but the ground floor has yet to be filled in

JULY PASENGER FIGURES
A total of 1,015,696 passengers passed through Luton in July 2012 down 0.4 per cent on a year ago. Rolling 12 month figure is 9,600,800 up 3.6 per cent.
Interesting figures for the ´´big´´ UK airports only Birmingham and Manchester showing any reasonable increase with Gatwick up only 0.1 per cent with both Edinburgh and Glasgow down and Heathrow over 4 per cent down (so much for the Olympic factor) and Stansted also down which comes as no surprise.
Waiting for the spin BAA will put on those figures!

Senior sources at Abertis had warned the council that its goal to increase passenger numbers to 30m in the longer term was “totally unrealistic” owing to the airport’s position on a hill and its proximity to Heathrow’s flight paths.
Abertis has been granted a three-year extension to its operating contract to 2031

There will be a total re-organisation of the London TMA at some point within the next 10 years which will see deconfliction of routes in and out of all the London airports.
Adria 2013
Adria's timetable, now loaded to mid-June shows LTN-LJU being operated by all A319 aircraft, rather than the current mix of A319/CRJs. A slight capacity increase. Times remain similar.
Blue Air Winter 2012/3
Schedules show Bucharest dropping from the current 6pw to 5pw over the winter, and Bacau from 5 to 4. I feel sure this is an increase on last winter's capacity.
