Hi Boeing 787-8, is this something you might like or a good rumour? If it was from someone in the know then would they not know which airline was thinking about serving Luton? Sun Express & Onur Air have run routes before for travel agents.

The £90m Luton Airport - Dunstable busway opens on September 25th
Fast, frequent and reliable: Luton Dunstable Busway services to start on 25 September - Luton Borough Council

Wallp - Easyjet confirmed they are picking up LGW-JER and LGW-INV and based on noises coming out of Govt, will likely pick up LGW-IOM. Aer Lingus, BA and Easyjet combined should absorb London-Belfast. BA fly London-Newcastle and the train is hourly taking 3 hours. Aurigny are expanding to fill LGW-GCI. LGW-Bergerac will likely be absorbed by Cityjet / Ryanair. Not sure about Newquay - possible Easyjet might run a summer daily LGW-NQY. BA and Easyjet combined should fill the London-Aberdeen demand - would need to argue well to see a need for 3 carriers when London-Glasgow has only 2.
How much of a gap is there for Flybe at Luton ?

Flybe
Thanks David. Putting it like that I see what you mean. I hope it doesn't have an even worse effect on traffic on the remaining Flybe routes already existing at Luton, which i understand have already suffered losses in passenger numbers, as it would be a real shame to lose links to Jersey & Isle of Man

I don’t know how long they have been gone but Honeywell Aerospace have closed their Luton Airport engine repair centre.
They came to Luton when Hatfield Aerodrome was closed and had large offices and workshops almost opposite Easyjet’s Flight Academy. They also had an engine run up bay next to the rear of Britannia’s hangar.

Honeywell's Luton facility is the largest repair and overhaul facility in Europe, Middle East and Africa for the ALF/LF 502/507 series turbofan engine, as installed in BAe146 and RJ regional aircraft. A state-of-the-art fan test cell supports our repair operations with testing capabilities up to 25,000lbs thrust.
