CAA Stats for Gatwick out now up 28% from last March.
Going to be even bigger increase for April stats!
Gatwick will take over Heathrow for the busiest route from NI in April stats I'm sure!

Undoubtedly LGW will become busiest. No affect to LHR or other LON routes, only LCY slightly down but could be due to the way Easter fell this time. Some great figures on domestics, interesting to see BE's LPL performance and yet no damage to EZY.

More Wizzair routes?
Arrival of Emirates?
Canadian route?
BA moving? (Least likely)

Banksy is going to build Dismaland 2 on the GA apron using old trident fuselages. It'll be staffed by Swissport management and the airport can use it as terminal 2 when he's finished as long as they leave the toilets alone.

Airport isn't looking as dismal anymore. Travelled through at the weekend and found it a pleasant experience even more so than city
My only negative point is that the entrance doors to the terminal are a bit tired and slow

As seen as he has had a great email, was it from a Nigerian prince who needs to store his money somewhere, and has given permission for the money to be used in getting new air routes?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I see that the night-mail services will only have runway 25 available for the next few nights, restricted to 1,825 metres and with no ILS on that runway. No centreline lights either! Fun times.

07 closed and no ILS on 25 during the dayimes.

A lot of work going on.

and the covered walkway over to the carpark is a disgrace - water runs off it when it rains.

I have the pleasure later on tonight...

The whole front of the place needs a facelift, it just doesn't function properly anymore

More than one approach is available for 25,so no ILS is really not a big deal(subject to weather of course) .No doubt WALDO will be along in a minute to correct me....

Certainly hasn't discouraged a Thomas Cook A330 which has arrived for training. Or perhaps it's why they're here

Yes Wizz did Warsaw and EZY did Gdansk, both twice weekly, but economic times are much better now I think
