Honeywell, well yes they supply some parts for the engines in the lists above but I don't think the question was about that.
I think the only true commercial airplane which has a Honeywell engine are the ones produced at hatfield. Once hatfield closed the engine operation moved to luton, as did most Biz Jet operations which were getting very successful in final years before the land redevelopment.

Seems that this Luton repair centre engine also powers the Bombardier Challenger 600 Lycoming ALF 502 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and was developed into the Honeywell LF 507 which powered the Avro RJ

Also Honeywell make lots of engine types https://commerce.honeywell.com/webap...0001&langId=-1

Airbus = CFM/PW or IAE
Boeings = PW/RR or GE
I thought the original post was about the Lycoming fully made by Honeywell, not subcontracted parts.

You still have not got it, have you?
Each of the aircraft that l have listed, have a smaller jet engine at the back end, it is called an APU.
All those APU's come under Honeywell now and could have gone through the Luton establishment in one form or other.

Perhaps if you had said that in the first place everyone would have known what you were talking about! I had not given APUs a thought.

Announcing the deal with MAG at a London press conference, Mr O’Leary said charges were still “very high”.

He added: “We’ll be cutting some capacity at other airports for summer 2014 because there’s now incentive for us at Stansted to grow aggressively.

Luton to suffer?

Grrr

They are only adding airframes that were removed with the spat during the BAA days and less than the 50+ once based. Will it affect Luton - I am sure AENA have a plan?

Can't see RYR removing any frames from Luton. When being SLF the 1/2/3 Gates are always packed. It would also give a negative impression which might result in others considering scooping up the same routes.

I can, while other London airports are striking up deals with Easyjet and Ryanair Luton has spent its time striking up a 10 year deal with National Express. All very well but it has to be a worry that I can't remember when the airport struck up any long term deal with Luton's main 3 carries including Wizz. With Easyjet and Ryanair now having commitments in place are there any deals left for Luton to grow?

Wizz today start the new service Kosice-Luton. My mum-in-law is on it.
Lets hope the weather does not spoil the party.

Rain and slight possibility of fog at Luton later.

I don't know what Signature intend to put in their new hangar but looking at the size of the men working on it they will have no problem getting the tail of a Gulfstream to fit.

First picture was taken this morning and the second picture was taken at 16:30



The hangar is not yet at its full width.
