Expect more delays as a half mile section of the A505 will be closed at weekends from May to possibly July. This time the diversion route is through the airport as work on a new roundabout at Eaton Green Road continues.

Actually at one stage there were two Saudi C-130's on the ground at the same time and a total of three different ones last week but all have gone now.

I hear that the KLM diversion in the week was a Mayday due to low fuel.

Abertis Infraestructuras SA. would be interested in purchasing some of Grupo Ferrovial SA.'s BAA airport assets if the United Kingdom's Competition Commission (CC) forces the group to break them up, a source close to the company said.
According to Expansion, Abertis is eyeing the group's Gatwick assets. Abertis already manages the UK's Luton, Cardiff and Belfast airports.
Luton Airport authorities have rallied for Gatwick's separation from BAA in order to create a viable competitor to Heathrow, the newspaper said.

I've seen the list for the football and yes there will be some russian metal, 767's 737's T154's and some others, about 30 extra flights that day.
Hercs were apparently collecting stage sets/props.

Assuming a 3 hour flight from Moscow, those 154's will be waking the neighbourhood up rather early on the morning they position out empty back to Russia! WONDERFUL!

Looking at the official Chelsea FC website flights for the season ticket holders seems to be split over 2 days starting on May 20th with night flights. It looks like an even spread of departures from Luton, Gatwick and Stansted.

Uefa Cup Final 21 May
Just to add to the flavour a large sports travel company is offering day flights for Manchester United supporters from Luton on 21 May departing in the early hours and returning hopefully in the early hours of Thursday but odds on they will probably arrive back sometime on Thursday as the match is not due to finish until 12.45am that is without extra time. Don’t forget most Manchester United supporters do not live in the Manchester area!

The Chelsea Web site says 'you might be interested to know that Luton Airport has received requests for an addition 91 slots on the day of the Champions League Final.' but don't know if that is just 21st?
Your 91 slots will no doubt include the legions of executive jets that will all be hurrying eastwards. Don't they realize it's on TV - and in any case, it's only a foopball match.
