Wizz are increasing Sofia to daily from March, up from 4 weekly from last summer, and carried on through this winter.
As of today, for SO8, Wizz will operate 11 routes from LTN. Four will be double daily, 3 daily, with the remainder, 3, 4 or 5 weekly. This equates to 88 weekly departures and is an increase of about 22% on S07.
Two additional new routes are expected to be announced in late January.

The Wizzair announcement today includes a domestic flight between Sofia and Varna. What's the betting that Luton-Varna will be announced early 2008 as the 80th scheduled destination from Luton, and Wizz's 12th?

Aeroflot at LTN
Aeroflot arrives around midday
December 4th looks like a good time to view a Trident look-a-like? I had better pack my ear defenders!
What they coming to Luton for? Does that mean a TU-154 is coming to the airport?! That will please the local NIMBY groups!
Not sure if those TU-154's can clear LTN's runway, despite their size, they require quite a long runway! Lets hope they do not bring an Airbus, as we see enough of them day in day out!
Shame I will be at work that day. - Any pics appreciated!

During the summer I remember seeing a RA- registered trijet taxi in and park on stand 12. I can't quite remember what it was but it had a blue/purple/silver paint scheme, think it may have been a private jet.
Anyone remember this one?!

EZYramper: There have been a few private Yak42's for Chelskz games, so you could have seen one of those.
Aeroflot would be suprise as they have used LGW and I think STN in the past.
The Bulkan 154's - what about the Tarom Il18's, now that was sight. Remember 3 on the pond one saturday in 1989 on school charters.

Well, the three-pot Trident lookalike arrived just 45 minutes late, landing noisily and smokily from a heavy sky. It's here for 12 hours or so, having brought in an orchestra.
It's parked nose-in on stand 15, so I hope someone's got a tow bar....

1981, the year Buster was first released at Luton!
First ever Aeroflot airliner at Luton, or so I am reliably told by an 'undercover' spotter!
I am not related to a certain bear in Sudan!

This happened years ago when a Virgin 747 that was running very late flew in from New York and left well after Midnight empty I think back to New York.
Toledoashley,
Bourgas was operated in summer 2007, so not new for 2008. My suggestion of Varna was based on Wizz establishing it as a destination, and that it is the second city of Bulgaria.
