Is that an opinion or some rumours?
Air France eh? Doubt it.. Aeroflot? Not likely..
I can see some more routes being picked up by Flybe. In the long term no doubts quite a few new airlines will come a long but I don't see Air France or Aeroflot being one of them.
Aren't AirOne now Alitalia?
Saw a White and Blue Fokker 50 today as I was returning from work.. Was it a freighter anybody know?

New airlines at Luton
Could other UK based carriers play a role in Luton's future growth? Other than those airlines who already serve the airport, how about the likes of Thomas Cook or perhaps even BMI Regional ?
Flybe
Air France
Turkish airlines
Klm or Klm city hopper
Freebird airlines
Aeroflot
Air one
Air Europa
Do I detect another "hacked account"?!

Turkish Airlines at STN, correct, it was a footie charter recently. With LHR, LGW and Brun covered, why would they consider Luton? STN attacts almost all other Turkish airlines. Perhaps they might be a target?

easyJet Summer Frequencies
Just done a quick search on the easyJet booking engine to get an idea of the summer frequencies for next year and this is what is show...
(I chose some random dates in June and got the below results.)
Aberdeen - 1x Daily (Evening Departure)
Alicante - Alternates each day between 2x Daily and 1x Daily
Amsterdam - 4x Daily (3x Sat and Sun)
Barcelona - 2x Daily
Belfast Int - 3x Daily (1x Sat)
Berlin - 2x Daily
Bordeaux - 1x Daily (2x Sat)
Budapest - 4x Weekly - Mon, Thurs, Fri and Sun
Corfu - 4x Weekly - Tues, Thurs, Sat and Sun
Crete (HER) - 2x Weekly - Wed and Sat
Cyprus (PFO) - 3x Weekly - Wed, Sat and Sun
Dortmund - 2x Daily (1x Sat)
Edinburgh - 3x Daily - Sun-Thurs, 4x Daily - Fri and 1x Daily - Sat
Faro - 1x Daily - Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri, 2x Daily - Weds, Sat and Sun
Geneva - 2x Daily
Glasgow - 4x Daily - Mon, Thurs and Fri, 3x Daily - Tues, Weds, 2x Daily - Sun and 1x Sat
Grenoble - Discontinued from 20th April (I think this is seasonal)
Hamburg - 1x Daily (No service Sat)
Ibiza - 5x Weekly - Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri and Sat
Inverness - 1x Daily
Istanbul - Discontinued from 28th March
Lisbon - 2x Daily (1x Sat)
Madrid - 2x Daily - Mon, Fri and Sun, 1x Daily - Tues, Weds, Thurs and Sat
Majorca - 2x Daily (3x Sat)
Malaga - 2x Daily (3x Sat)
Menorca - 1x Weekly (Sat)
Milan (MXP) - 2x Daily - Mon, Thurs and Fri, 1x Daily Tues, Weds, Sat and Sun
Montpellier - 2x Weekly - Tues and Sat
Mykonos - 2x Weekly - Tues and Fri
Nice - 2x Daily (3x Sat)
Olbia - 2x Weekly - Weds and Sat
Paris (CDG) - 3x Daily (2x Sat and Sun)
Pisa - 1x Daily
Reykjavik (KEF) - 1x Daily (No Service Sat)
Salzburg - Discontinued from 19th April (I think this is seasonal)
Sharm El Sheikh - 1x Daily (No Service Sun)
Tel Aviv - 2x Daily - Mon, Tues, Thurs and Sun, 1x Daily - Weds, Fri and Sun
Venice - 4x Weekly - Mon, Thurs, Fri and Sun
Zurich - 1x Daily
I work that out to be 353 flights a week in June 2014, but happy to be corrected.
Shame to see Istanbul vanish, would be great is another airline stepped in to replace this service. Maybe a Pegasus service or a service from Turkish Airlines low cost subsidiary which I think is AnadoluJet? It seems easyJet are pulling out completely from Istanbul, as their only other service from Basel is also stopping on the 28th March... Probably a case that the market has become over saturated with the dominance of Turkish Airlines and Pegasus.
There is some increases in services like Reykjavik (KEF) going from 4 to 6 times weekly, Sharm El Sheikh (SSH) is increasing from 5 to 6 times weekly.
Budapest has dropped from 5 to 4 times weekly and Menorca has dropped from 3-4 times a week to a single weekly service.
Even though Istanbul is being dropped, we do have a new service to Venice this summer and with the increases to KEF and SSH, there doesn't seem a great deal of slack in the current schedule to start any new services. Possibly a twice weekly service with sector time of 2-3hrs away??? Somewhere like Pula or Dubrovnik would be nice!
Considering all the negative talk and the possibility of aircraft been switched to Stansted, I think Luton hasn't done too badly and will be keeping the currently number of based aircraft for Summer 2014.
Being realistic, no growth from easyJet is likely next year with additional aircraft... The growth is going to come from Gatwick, where the airline needs to fill all the slots they are buying from FlyBE and that will probably take 6-8 additional aircraft being based there to fill all these slots.

MAH
Be interested to know the passenger levels across the board for MAH, not just from Luton, as it seems EZY and a few other airlines have either decreased or stopped there services altogether to Menorca.
Maybe the case of too many flights or a decrease in pax who are shifting to elsewhere for their holidays.
If anyone has got details of this years loads, in comparison with previous years loads, from Luton or any other base it would be much appreciated.

I may stand to be corrected, but does the Easy Jet Mahon service not increase it's frequency until the July / August peak season ? Hopefully we should see some increases on this in the next release of flights for the remainder of the Summer schedule.
Overall, as the above figures show, I think Mahon has had a pretty good year from the UK this year, Jet 2 have put a lot of extra capacity into Mahon this year (with new services from a number of bases) and Thomson Airways have operated nearly 35 flights per week into Mahon for the Summer peak, it will be interesting to see if this is maintained next Summer ?
